Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your

Aquanta Smart Water Heater Controller!

The Aquanta water heater controller works with

your new or existing electric water heater to bring

it out of the basement and put it into the palm of

your hand. It heats water only when you need it,

offering cost savings and intelligent controls.

This manualdescribes the physical installation of

the Aquanta Controller and associated sensors.

It can easily be installed by most homeowners or a certified electrician.

First, install the Aquanta Controller on the top of the water heater and connect the

sensors. Then, apply power to the Aquanta Controller, connect it to your home Wi-

Fi network, register with the Aquanta Portal and you have a smart water heater!

Aquanta Controller Installation

The Aquanta Controller is the brain of the

system, containing the electronics, sensor

connections and Wi-Fi communications

module.

CAUTION: Turn the electricity to the water heater off

by switching the circuit breaker to the “OFF”

position. For electric water heaters, this is typically a

double breaker.

TIP: It is recommended to test that the electricity is

off at the water heater using a voltage tester.

1. Using a screwdriver, remove the electrical

cover plate from the top of the water heater.

Remove the wire nuts from the wires and

separate the wires. Remove the ground

wire from the ground screw. Loosen and

remove the cable clamp from the electrical

cover plate by loosening the nut on the

underside of the cover plate. Remove the

cover plate from the cable clamp and the

AC Mains supply wires.

2. Open the Aquanta Controller by removing the 4 Philips-head screws to

remove the front cover.

3. Mount the electrical cover plate from the water

heater onto the conduit fitting on the bottom of

the Aquanta Controller. Orient the Controller

to face the desired direction and then tighten

the nut on the conduit fitting. Lower the

Controller, with cover plate, over the 2 wires

coming from thewater heater and then secure

the cover plate onto the water heater using the

original screws. The Controller is now

mounted on the water heater and the ground

contact is established.

Alternative mounting: For some water heaters it may be

necessary to mount the electrical cover plate to the

water heater prior to fastening it to the Aquanta

Controller. In this case, remove the supplied conduit

fittings from the bottom of the Aquanta Controller. Place

a washer onto the conduit nipple and then slide the

conduit nipple up through the hole in the cover plate.

Secure the conduit nipple to the cover plate using one of

the conduit nuts. Slide the wires from the water heater

through the conduit nipple and attach the cover plate to

the to the water heater using the original screws. Slide

the Aquanta Controller over the conduit nipple, place the

grounding bracket (supplied with the Aquanta

Controller) over the conduit nipple and secure

everything in place using a conduit nut.

4. Connect the wires from the water heater to the

lower terminal block (marked HTR) inside the

Aquanta Controller. Bend and trim the wires to

length as shown with ¼” of bare wire exposed

on the ends. There is no strict polarity, but we

recommend following the wire colors as shown.

Note: Before inserting a wire into a terminal block, ensure that

the terminal block screw is fully open by turning it

counterclockwise 8 full turns. Insert the wire into the opening on

the side of the terminal block and tighten the screw by turning it

clockwise until the screw is just snug against the wire. Then turn

an additional quarter (¼) turn. Do not overtighten the terminal

block screws.

5. Install the original cable clamp for the AC Mains

supply wire in the hole at the top of the Aquanta Controller.

6. Straighten the ACMains supply wires and pull them down through the cable clamp.

Ensure that there is sufficient ground wire to reach the ground screw at the bottom

of the Aquanta unit, and sufficient black and white wire to reach the upper terminal

block (marked Line), then secure the wire in the cable clamp. Bend and trim the

wires to length as shown with ¼” of bare wire exposed on the ends.

7. Connect the two AC Mains supply wires to the top terminal block (there is no

polarity). Then, attach the ground wire to the green grounding screw. Ensure that

the bare ground wire does not contact the terminal block or the printed circuit board

by keeping it straight and trimmed to length as show.

8. Attach the cover to the Aquanta Controller using the four Phillips-head screws.

Sensor Connections

1. Attach one of the supplied Temperature Sensors to the

Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve (T&P Valve) on the

water heater using one of the supplied Cable Ties. Wrap the

Cable Tie around the T&P valve and then slide the narrow

end of the tie through the slot. Position the tip of the

Temperature Sensor as close to the water heater as possible

and pull the Cable Tie as tight as possible over the bead of

the Temperature Sensor. Ensure that the Temperature

Sensor is in contact with the metal body of the T&P Valve,

but does not interfere with the operation of the T&P Valve.

Clip off the excess length of the Cable Tie. If there is another

plumbingfitting between the T&P Valve and the water heater,

fasten the Temperature Sensor to that fitting as close to the

water heater as possible. Plug this sensor into the “Hot Water

Sensor” connector on the side of the Aquanta Controller (see

Step 4 on page 8).

2. Attach the second Temperature Sensor to the cold water inlet pipe using two of

the supplied Cable Ties. Attachment to four types of water inlet pipes are shown

below. Wrap one of the Cable Tiesaround the cold water pipe and slide the narrow

end through the slot. Position the Temperature Sensor on the cold water pipe as

close as possible to the water heater and under the Cable Tie, then pull the

Cable Tie as tight as possible. Place a second Cable Tie around the Temperature

Sensor wire and water pipe as a strain relief. Clip off the excesslength of the Cable

Ties. Plug this Temperature Sensor into the “Cold Water Sensor” connector on the

side of the Aquanta Controller (see Step 4 below).

3. If you purchased the Optional Leak Sensor, peel the

paper backing off of the double-sided tape on the Leak

Sensor. Place the leak sensor on the side of the water

heater near bottom, preferably directly below the T&P

valve, such that the gold-plated contacts extend into the

drip pan beneath the water heater. Plug the Leak

Sensor into the “Leak Sensor”connector on the side of

the Aquanta Controller (see Step 4 below).

4. Connect the sensors to the Aquanta Controller as shown.

5. Four Cable Management Clips are included with the Aquanta unit. Use these

clips to organize the routing of the wires on the water heater. Placing two of

the clips on the back of the Aquanta Controller is a convenient way of retaining

the excess sensor wire.

6. Turn the electricity “ON” at the circuit breaker. The LED should illuminate on the

Aquanta Controller; it will blink indicating that a network connection still needs to

be established.

Wi-Fi Setup

The Aquanta Controller has built-inWi-Fi capability forcommunications with you home

Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps below to establish a connection between the Aquanta

Controller and your home network:

1. Verify that the Aquanta Controller is powered ON

and ready to connect, as shown by a blinking green

light.

2. On a smart phone or other connected device, find

your “Wi-Fi Networks”icon (as if you were at a coffee

shop logging onto a new network), and select the

network called “Aquanta xxxxxxxx”.

3. On many devices (including iOS devices), a web

page automatically appears with the available Wi-

Fi networks. If theweb page to the right does NOT

appear, open an internet browser, type

192.168.0.1 in the web address bar, and you will
