Warnings
When installing the AirTap™on a gas or electric water heater, disconnect permanently the gas or power supply to the water heater while the AirTap™is being installed. The original gas/power supply to the gas/electric water heater shall remain disconnected after installation.


Seems odd to me. The Hybrid units being sold these days are using both modes of water heating..
Probable the reason they want you to disconnect other heat source because what if your thermostat fails? HWT can reach over 100 C (boiling water + pressure). You have their refrigeration lines (full of liquid refrigerant) inside this super hot water. Think what is going to happen next???
