One of the first steps in keeping your tankless water heater damage-free is making sure it doesn’t freeze. Water heaters that break down due to negligence are often not covered by manufacturer’s warranties. The best way to keep this kind of damage from occurring is to drain the system of excess water before the first freeze of the season.
Allow the water to cool for several hours, making sure the heater is off and unplugged. After this, shut off the water supply and drain the liquid from the system. It’s recommended that you detach any pipes and hoses, along with the inlet water filter, so that these parts can dry out as well. If your heater is stored outside, cover it with some form of insulation to keep it sufficiently warm. Any ice or snow that accumulates on its surface should be cleared away as soon as possible.
