fire, electric shock or injury to persons should be followed, including:
▶ READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS WATER HEATER.
▶ This water heater must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded
outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on “INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS” .
▶ Install or locate this water heater onlyin accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
▶ Use this water heater only for its intended use as described in this manual.
▶ The models ES2.5 and ES4 come equipped with a power cord. Do not use an
extension cord. If no outlet is available adjacent to the water heater,
contact a qualified electrician to have one properly installed near the
heater. The model ES8 must be hard-wired. See installation instructions.
▶ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
▶ The water heater must be supplied with water that meets the standards
provided in section 3.1 – Water Chemistry Requirements.
▶ When a supplemental source of hot water is supplied to this Tronic 3000T,
provisions must be made to ensure that the temperature of the heat source does
not exceed the thermostat setting on this Tronic 3000T.
▶ If the water heater has been retrofitted with supplemental heating
equipment, you must adjust both the thermostat that controls the supplemental
heat source (located in the piping) and the thermostat on the Tronic 3000T
(located behind the front panel) to the same temperature. Failure to adjust
both thermostats to the same temperature can cause loss of correct temperature
control.
▶ Do not operate this water heater if it is has a damaged cord or plug, if it
is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
▶ This water heater should be serviced only by qualified service personnel.
Contact a service person for examination, repair or adjustment.
▶ Failure to replace the anode rod at least once every two years may cause the
tank to fail and leak. We also recommend inspecting the anode rod annually and
replacing it immediately if it is corroded or pitted. Damage caused by not
maintaining the anode rod is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
▶ Any water heater should be installed in such a manner that if it should
leak, the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to the area in which
it is installed. National Plumbing codes require a drain pan for any water
heater installation. Failure to install one is the sole responsibility of
owner and/or installer. Reference UPC 2006 (Uniform Plumbing Code) Section
508.1, or IPC 2006 (International Plumbing Code) Section 504.7.
NOTICE:
▶ The installer should review the contents of this manual with the owner upon
completion of installation, and the manual should be left with the owner and
placed in a location close to the installation.
NOTICE:
▶ The manufacturer is not responsible for the damages caused by improper
installation or by failure to follow instructions in this manual. Comply with
the installation instructions before completing electric connection.
NOTICE:
▶ The thermostat has been pre-set at the factory at a temperature equal or
below 51.7 °C (125 °F). DANGER:
▶ Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this heater
that has not been used for a long period of time (generally 2 weeks or more).
Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these
conditions, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several
minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance connected to
the hot water system. If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an
unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to
flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it
is open.
CAUTION:
▶ Any water heater should be installed in such a manner that if it should
leak, the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to the area in which
it is installed. National Plumbing codes require a drain pan for any water
heater installation. Failure to install one is the sole responsibility of
owner and/or installer. Reference UPC 2006 (Uniform Plumbing Code) Section
508.1, or IPC 2006 (International Plumbing Code) Section 504.7.
NOTICE:
▶ Prior to connecting the power supply, ensure tank is full of water and
system is purged of air. Failure to do so may result in dry-fire damage to the
appliance, which is not covered under warranty.
NOTICE:
▶ Tank failure due to neglecting to maintain the anode rod is not covered
under warranty (see Section 5 Maintenance).

Installation instructions
The ES2.5 and ES4 water heaters are designed to be installed under the sink.
3.1 Water Chemistry Requirements
The chemistry of the water supplied to the water heater may affect efficiency,
and may cause damage or premature failure to the appliance and associated
equipment. Water chemistry must be analysed by a professional to determine if
it is necessary to treat the water, and if treatment is required the
professional should provide advice on a suitable solutions. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the appliance is supplied with
water that is potable 1) , free of corrosive chemicals, sand, dirt, and other
contaminants, and is within the parameters shown in the Water Chemistry
Requirements Table below. In addition, operating temperatures above 135°F will
accelerate the natural accumulation of lime scale and potentially shorten the
life of the appliance.
Failure of the appliance due to lime scale build-up, and/or being supplied
with water that is outside of the required chemistry parameters, is NOT
covered by the warranty.
3.2 Water Chemistry Requirements Table
| Values
---|---
Ph| 6.5 to 8.5
Hardness| 4 to 20 Grains/US Gallon
Chloride Concentration| ≤ 100 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids| ≤ 500 ppm
Conductivity (mS/cm| ≤ 1200
Table 3
1) Potable water is defined as drinkable water supplied from utility or
well water in compliance with EPA secondary maximum contaminant levels (40 CFR
Part 143.3). lf the water contains contaminants higher than outlined by the
EPA, water treatment is recommended and more frequent maintenance may be
required. If you suspect that your water is contaminated in any way,
discontinue use of the appliance and contact a licensed professional for
assistance.
3.3 Mounting the heater
3.3.1 Wall mounting
NOTICE:
The ES2.5 and ES4 water heaters come equipped with a power cord.
▶ Ensure the circuit breaker supplying the electrical outlet for the water
heater is properly sized to handle the load of both the water heater and
another appliance (e.g. dishwasher). See Table 2 for water heater electrical
specifications.
▶ Fasten the supplied mounting bracket to the wall.
NOTICE:
Material damages!
▶ Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and the weight of the
heater when filled with water.
▶ Hang the water heater on the bracket.
▶ Tug down wards on the heater to ensure that both “fingers” of the bracket
are seated in the mounting slots.
3.3.2 Floor mounting
▶ Heater can sit on floor.
3.4 Pipe connections
▶ Connect the cold water inlet pipe to the inlet tapping (marked with a blue
ring).
▶ Ensure a isolation valve is installed on the cold water supply to the water
heater.
▶ Connect the hot water outlet pipe to the outlet tapping (marked with a red
ring).
The model ES8 can be piped horizontally from the side or vertically from the
top.
Horizontal installation – ES8 Model Only
If you wish to install the unit horizontally, with the piping connections on
the right side:
▶ Install supplied brass plug into tap between hot and cold water connections.
▶ The supplied Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve will need to be installed
on top. See location of T&P relief valve in ** Fig. 7.
Vertical installation
If you wish to install the unit vertically, with the piping connections on
top:
▶ Install supplied brass plug into tap on side of water heater.
▶ The supplied Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve will need to be installed
on top. See location of T&P relief valve in **Fig. 5 and **Fig. 6.
Caution
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of excessive pressures and temperatures in this water
heater:
▶ Install the supplied temperature and pressure protective equipment required
by local codes but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief
valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains
periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting
the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shut-off Devices for Hot
Water Supply Systems, ANSIZ21.22.
The supplied temperature and pressure relief valve is marked with a maximum
set pressure (150 psi) that does not exceed the marked maximum working
pressure of the water heater.
▶ Install the valve in the opening provided and marked for this purpose in the
water heater.
▶ Orient it or provide tubing so that any discharge from the valve will exit
within 6 inches above, or at any distance below, the structural floor, and
cannot contact any live electrical part. The discharge opening must not be
blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances.
National Plumbing codes may require a drain pan for the water heater
installation. Failure to install one is the sole responsibility of owner and/
or installer. Reference UPC
(Uniform Plumbing Code), or IPC (International Plumbing Code).
3.5 Closed system thermal expansion
Periodic discharge of the temperature and pressure relief valve or failure of
the element gasket may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply
system. The water utility supply meter may contain a checkvalve, backflow
preventer or water pressure reducing valve which will create a closed water
system.
During the heating cycle of the water heater, the water expands causing
pressure inside the water heater to increase. The temperature and pressure
relief valve may discharge hot water under these conditions which results in a
loss of energy and a build-up of lime on the relief valve seat.
To prevent this from happening, there are two recommendations:
1. Install a diaphragm-type expansion tank that is suitable for potable water
on the cold water supply line. A minimum 0.5 gallon expansion tank should be
used.
Contact the local water supplier or plumbing inspector for information on how
to control this situation. Do not plug the temperature and pressure relief
valve.
3.6 Electrical connections**
The ES8 model must be hard wired. As per the National Electric Code the ES8
needs to be wired with 12 GA. wire to a 20 amp branch circuit.
Do not use surge protectors or multi-outlet adapters with this water heater.
▶ Unscrew the junction box cover and remove it.
▶ Insert 12 AWG through conduit into junction box and secure with conduit
strain relief (not supplied).
▶ Connect the wires and screw on the cover of the junction box.
▶ Make appropriate wiring connections to the water heater per the National
Electric Code.
The unit must be grounded with supplied grounding cable inside junction box.
▶ Secure junction box cover once wiring connections have been made.
When the ES8 is not within sight of the electrical circuit breakers, a circuit
breaker lockout or additional local means of disconnection for all non
grounded conductors must be provided that is within sight of the appliance.

4.1 Starting and testing
NOTICE:
DO NOT supply power to water heater until filled with water. If the water
heater is powered on prior to being filled with water, it could lead to dry-
fire damage. This is not covered under warranty.
To fill the heater:
▶ Open supply valve for water heater to fill with water.
▶ Open hot water tap(s) supplied by the water heater to purge air out of the
system. Once air is purged, close hot water tap.
▶ Visually check for any leaks.
Turning heater on
For models which are not fitted with a switch:
▶ Supply power to the water heater by plugging in the power cord (models
ES2.5, ES4) or turning on the circuit breaker (model ES8). If the light does
not come on, turn the control knob in a clockwise direction.
The light will come on until water temperature has reached the thermostat
temperature setting. The light will come back on any time the water
temperature inside the tank drops below the thermostat setting.
4.2 Temperature setting
The temperature of the hot water is adjusted by rotating the knob M located on
the front cover. Temperature range is 65 – 145 °F.
▶ Turn the knob clockwise to increase temperature.
▶ Turn the knob counter-clockwise to decrease temperature.
Maintenance
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to repair this water heater yourself. Call a service person for
assistance. Always turn off the power supply to the heater prior to servicing
or draining the heater.
Required maintenance
For all of the following operations, the power must be removed from the
water heater (ES2.5 and ES4; Unplug from the wall power outlet. ES8; Turn off
the circuit breaker at the mains panel). For some of the following operations
the water must be drained from the water heater too.
5.1 Removing the cover
▶ Pry off the round cover plate [V] from its right hand edge [W] with a small
flat-head screwdriver.
▶ Remove the Phillips screw revealed beneath the round cover plate.
▶ The cover [C] can now be removed by pulling out its left- hand edge. When

it can also be emptied by:
▶ Siphon through the inlet side hose.
▶ Keep a hot water faucet open while siphoning.
-or-
If the heater has been installed with rigid piping:
▶ Siphon the water out through any (lower) service valve on the (inlet side).
▶ Keep a hot water faucet open while siphoning the water out.
5.3 Inspecting the anode rod
The purpose of the anode rod ( **Fig. 13, [N]) is to protect the tank
against corrosion. It is critical that the anode rod be inspected once a year
to determine whether it requires replacement (and it must be replaced at least
once every two years). To access the anode rod, the heating element must be
removed (see Section 5.4 Removing the heating element). Upon inspection, the
anode rod surface should appear smooth. If the rod surface appears pitted,
bumpy, rusty, or if the rod is missing completely, then it must be replaced
before the water heater can be put back into operation.
To access the anode rod:
▶ Remove the heating element (see Section 5.4 Removing the heating element).
Original anode rod sizes**
- ES2.5, ES4: length 5⅛”, diameter ⅝”
- ES8:length 6½”, diameter ¾”
Certain installations may require more frequent replacement of the anode rod:
- recirculation applications;
- poor water quality;
- galvanic/electrolytic corrosion
- high flow applications
In the event of poor water quality, Bosch recommends consulting a local water
treatment professional for water treatment options. Always ensure the water
heater is grounded. Models ES2.5 and ES4 must be connected only to a properly
grounded outlet. Damage resulting from poor water quality or failure to
replace the anode rod is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. For
additional questions, please call Bosch Technical Service.
5.4 Removing the heating element
▶ Turn off power supply and drain the heater (see previous section).
▶ Remove the front cover plate, disconnect terminals X, Y and T.
▶ Unscrew the 4 heating element retaining nuts F.
▶ Remove thermostat temperature sensor from well [B] located on the element
assembly.

5.5 Descaling the heating element
Scale deposits can affect the heating capability of the element. Heavy scale
can even cause damage to the element. The element can be descaled either
chemically or manually:
▶ Soak the element in white vinegar or other descaling solution.
▶ Once descaled, rinse well with fresh water, to which you should add some
baking soda,
-or
▶ Once the element has dried, use a soft brush (non metallic to prevent
damaging the stainless steel sheath) on element.
▶ Brush the dried mineral off.
▶ Reinstall the element with gasket and make the wire connections. NOTICE:
Make sure the tank has been refilled with water before restoring power.
Replacement of parts

Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
Water does not get hot. | Make sure the power supply is on and working. |
If light does not come on, check that the high limit reset button is pushed
in; follow steps in section 7.1.
If the indicator light works properly but temperature does not get hot at the
tap, test for a plumbing crossover; shut off cold supply to heater and open
hot water tap. There should be no water flowing. Any continued flow indicates
a crossover which will effect the temperature and will need to be corrected.
Also, it’s important to understand that this is a storage tank water heater
and so it will take time for the water to get up to the set temperature. If
the appliance has only recently been filled with water and the power turned
on, please allow approximately 20 minutes to come up to temperature.
Call a qualified service technician to test the resistance of the heating
element (8-10 ohms). Heating element should be replaced if readings are
outside these values.
Light not on.| If the light does not come on, but water gets hot, check for
faulty bulb.
Check high limit reset button; follow steps in section 7.1;
Brown water.| Brown or rusty water indicates a “spent” anode rod and possible
deterioration of the tank body. Inspect the tank for leaks.
Check anode rod (see section on changing the anode rod).
Odor in water.| Smelly water could be due to an unusual reaction between local
water and the heater’s anode rod. Check anode rod (see section 6.1 Changing
the anode rod).
Failure to do so may result in damage to the tank and leaks.
Leaking| Check water fittings and T & P fitting on top of tank.
Remove front cover and inspect heating element gasket.
If tank is leaking call Bosch Water Heating for warranty claim if still within
warranty period.
Check anode rod (see section 6.1 Changing the anode rod).
7.1 Resetting High Limit Switch
Occasionally, the high temperature limit shut off device may trip the reset.
This occurs when water temperature exceeds 190 °F. The shut off device may
also trigger from a power outage or electrical storm.
To reach the thermostat:
▶ Disconnect power cord (or shut off circuit breaker – model ES8) and remove
the front cover.
▶ Firmly press reset button [B] with the tip of a ball point pen or similar
object.A click indicates the reset
was tripped.
▶ Reconnect power.
IMPORTANT: Check the operation of the thermostat:
▶ Turn temperature dial from high to low.
If the red light does not go off on low setting:
▶ Turn off power supply and call a service person to replace the thermostat.
If the red light does go off the thermostat is working well:
▶ Place dial setting to desired setting.
A lower setting is more economical, reduces the risk of scalding, and may also
help to slow down the natural accumulation of lime scale inside the water
heater.
▶ Replace cover plate.
CAUTION:
Call a technician if the high limit needs to be reset frequently. Frequent
activation of the high limit may indicate that lime scale has formed on the
heating element.
▶ Please refer to section 5.5 Descaling the Heating Element for further
details.
