Orient Electric Aura Geyser typically involves a few key steps related to mounting, water connections, and electrical setup.
For safety and to maintain your warranty, it's highly recommended to hire a professional or licensed technician for the installation.
However, here is a general, step-by-step guide on what the process usually entails:
🛠️ General Installation Steps
1. Pre-Installation Preparation
Choose the Location: Select a sturdy wall close to the point of use (sink, shower) to minimize heat loss. Ensure the wall can safely support the weight of the geyser when it is full of water.
Gather Tools: You'll typically need a drill machine, wall plugs/anchors, an adjustable wrench, Teflon tape (PTFE tape) for sealing joints, pipe connectors, and safety gear.
Safety First: Turn off the main electrical power supply and the main water supply to the area before you begin any work.
2. Mounting the Geyser
Marking: Use the mounting bracket or template provided with the geyser to mark the locations for the drill holes on the wall.
Drilling: Drill the holes and insert the wall plugs or expansion anchors.
Secure the Bracket: Screw the mounting bracket firmly to the wall.
Mount the Unit: Carefully lift the geyser and hang it securely onto the wall brackets, ensuring it is level.
3. Water Connections
Apply Teflon Tape: Wrap Teflon tape around the threads of all pipe connectors and inlet/outlet nozzles to ensure a watertight seal.
Connect Inlet: Connect the cold-water supply pipe to the inlet port (usually marked blue or with an arrow pointing into the geyser).
Connect Outlet: Connect the hot water pipe that leads to your faucet or shower to the outlet port (usually marked red or with an arrow pointing out of the geyser).
Install Safety Valve: If your model requires an external pressure relief valve (PRV), connect it to the designated port.
4. Filling and Checking for Leaks
Fill the Tank: Before connecting the power, open the hot water faucet/tap on your mixer/shower, and then turn on the main water supply. This allows the geyser tank to fill and any trapped air to escape through the open faucet.
Close Faucet: Once water flows smoothly from the faucet, close it.
Check for Leaks: Inspect all the connections you made (inlet, outlet, PRV) for any dripping or leaks. Tighten connections as necessary.
5. Electrical Connection
Connect Power: Plug in the geyser's power cord to a properly grounded and appropriately rated electrical socket. If the unit is designed to be hardwired, have a licensed electrician perform this step.
Turn on Power: Switch on the main electrical supply.
6. Testing
Turn on Geyser: Switch on the geyser's power button/indicator. Set the temperature if your model has a thermostat.
Wait and Test: Allow the geyser sufficient time to heat the water (this can be 3 minutes for instant models or longer for storage models). Test the hot water at the outlet to ensure it is heating correctly.
💡 Important Note
For the most accurate and safe installation instructions, you should always refer to the specific User Manual that came with your Orient Electric Aura Geyser model, as instructions can vary slightly between instant and storage geysers, or different capacity models.
