The Titan SCR2
N-120, which is the most popular and largest selling unit draws a
maximum of 54 amps. Meaning, it will consume a maximum of 54 amps at
peak power output, only as necessary. This unit would perform optimumally with the use of a 60 amp breaker, and a #6 AWG
wire gauge. The more powreful SCR-5 line will require a
simple two breaker set up. Please check our specs
page for further information on the various models.
Due to its
electrical nature, it is recommended you hire a professional to
install your Titan heater. The Titan comes with an installation
guide. The installation is generally straight-forward and can be
completed without incident by the installer. The guide has
information that will be necessary during installation.
The Titan can be
installed almost anywhere indoors and requires NO VENTING. Generally
the units are be installed right where your old tank heater used to
be. A minimum of 12" clearance must exist from the top of the unit
to the ceiling, and from bottom of unit to the floor. Think of
the space you will save!
It is not recommended to be installed outdoors unless the units is
housed in some form of protective cover. As with all electric
appliances, your Titan tankless water heater is designed to operate
indoors, and must be protected from rain and weather elements.
Yes, the Titan
can be used with, PVC, PVX or any similar tubing material and
perform well.
The only requirement is that you use approximately 36 inches of
copper tubing at the inlet and outlet to act as a buffer between the
tankless heater and your plastic tubing.
Yes, the Titan units are extremely
resistant to hard/mineral water. The unit is designed with incoloy
heating elements are housed inside rugged copper/brass chambers. The
use of incoloy elements makes our tankless water heaters durable and
resistant to mineral deposits and hardwater build up. Incoloy
is an industrial-grade nickel-chromium heat-resistant alloy. This
alloy provides an exceptional level of high-temperature corrosion
resistance in oxidation, sulfidation, carburization and nitridation
environments. In addition to thermal stability characteristics
required to prevent thermal distortion and embrittlement, it
exhibits excellent stress-rupture strengths. These characteristics,
along with a high resistance to carburization and cyclic oxidation,
make this alloy the material of choice for many severe applications.
The Titan works with well-water
systems. Pressure variations under 20 PSI are generally tolerated by
the units. The pump pressure gauge should not vary more than 20 PSI
or it could impair the Titans performance. The Titan is
designed to operate in the range of 5-120 PSI.
The Titans are designed to operate within a range of 5-150 PSI. It
is recommended that your pump be set to run at 60- 80 PSI.
If you don't already have one, a back flow preventer is considered a
must.
We have sold the Titan in Alaska and received great praise!
Generally if you live in the Northern part of the USA Or Canada a
two unit parallel installation is recommended but not a necessity.
You have to review the specs on the unit and compare it to your
average incoming water table.
See our COLDER CLIMATE section for
details.
It should be noted that competitors sell large single box units
designed for colder climates. Keep in mind that this is simply the
equivalent of putting two Titan units inside one large box with two
electrical breaker connections required. The advantage of having the
Titan in parallel is that one unit can be turned off during summer
months or if one malfunctions (rare) you still have one unit
providing endless hot water.
