Warnings & Tips for Best Performance
NOTE:
System designed to increase water temperature by
25°-60°F. If water exiting showerhead is not hot enough, place
showerhead in same water container as pump and recirculate
water for a few minutes.
WATER PRESSURE:
If water flow/pressure drops or water
temperature increases, immediately point showerhead away
from body & safely turn off heater until proper water pressure is
regained.
WATER DRIPPING FROM BOTTOM:
bottom of the heater during use is normal. This is condensation
and will occur every time the heater is on, especially in humid
climates.
LOW WATER PRESSURE:
Zodi suggests using only new batteries.
Weak batteries or vapor lock will cause pump to perform poorly.
If new batteries are not available, reduce distance between pump
and showerhead by elevating water container on table. With
heater OFF and cool, initiate water flow with weak batteries by
applying suction to showerhead. Check hoses for kinks. Check
debris screen at end of pump by twisting off pump cap, and rinse
out foam screen if necessary. Shake pump under water to release
vapor lock. Pump and battery case are NOT covered by warranty.
New pumps are available at www.zodi.com and are replaced by
removing hose at pump.
CONNECTING PROPANE CYLINDERS:
propane gas. Propane gas can explode, burn and is a fire hazard.
Propane gas is heavier than air and can accumulate in low areas.
Never store propane indoors or near any heat source, near any
open flames, near any pilot light, in direct sunlight, near any
ignition source or where temperatures exceed 120° F. Do not
refill disposable propane cylinders. Always attach & detach gas
cylinders outdoors away from flames, other ignition sources & only
when heater is cool to touch. If a propane cylinder has a protective
cap, remove protective cap. Check that fittings & top of each
propane cylinder are clean and free of debris. Turn off propane
gas valves & twist propane cylinders clockwise into gas valves at
bottom of heater. Check that propane cylinders are tight and not
leaking at connection by testing for leaks with soapy water (see
below). Dispose of empty gas cylinders in a safe and responsible
manner.
TESTING FOR GAS LEAKS:
before using shower. Never use flame to check for gas leaks.
With gas valves turned completely off and propane connected to
shower, apply soapy water (1 part liquid detergent to 3 parts water)
around areas where gas valves connect to propane cylinders.
Bubbles near propane connections ndicate leaks. If bubbles are
present, ensure that the propane connection is not cross-threaded.
Check that propane cylinder connection is tight. Repeat testing
processuntil no leaks are present. If leaks continue, do not use
product, but contact Zodi.

COLD WATER TEMPERATURE:
higher altitudes), place showerhead in the same water container as
the pump and recycle water until it reaches a suitable temperature.
When heater is turned all the way up, heat may be lost as flames
begin to exit exhaust holes at the top of the system. In this case,
hotter water can be produced by turning the gas valve down.
BTU output varies and may reach up to 20,000 BTU dependent
upon altitude, atmospheric conditions, outside temperature, and
propane level and temperature. Cold and empty tanks decrease
performance. Also, new batteries generate a higher flow of water,
causing water temperature to be slightly lower for the first few
minutes of operation.
WARNING - SYSTEM GETS HOT DURING USE:
to cool before handling. Do not place any items including pump,
battery case, towels, soap & shampoo on or near heater. Keep
children & pets clear of heater when operating. Operate only
outdoors in well ventilated areas clear of any flammable vapors &
material.
SHOWER HOSES:
Once hoses are attached, they can remain on
the shower. If hose becomes brittle or loose, cut off 2 inches of the
hose and reattach hose to the fitting. Both hoses must be tightly
and completely connected to the entire length of hose barbs on
shower and pump.
REMOVING PROPANE FROM UNIT:
cylinders outdoors, away from flames and ignition sources, after
the heater has cooled completely. To remove propane cylinders
from your shower, turn shower onto its back and twist propane
tanks counter-clockwise until fully removed from shower. Replace
protective cap on each propane tank. Store propane outdoors.
Read manufacturer's directions on propane cylinder for other
warnings.
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS:
housing using a soft damp cloth. Clean inside of hoses and heating
system by placing pump in clean water with baking soda and
turning the pump on for 1 minute. Rinse after with fresh clean
water. Never submerge heater or battery case in water.
STORAGE:
Remove propane cylinders from heater before
transport or storage. For added protection, wrap heater in towel
before storing in case. To prevent freeze damage to coil in cold
climates, drain all water from coil by blowing on showerhead for
10 seconds. Store heater in case to prevent dust and insects from
clogging burner during storage. Broken cases, freeze damage
and pumps are not covered by warranty. Always store propane
outdoors. See propane warnings above.
Warranty Disclaimer: Due to the harsh conditions product may
be exposed to, there is no warranty on electronic components
including piezo push button & battery operated pump. Never
modify, alter or use with any part or device not approved by Zodi.
