Design and Installation

Installation and Maintenance
The GE Platinum RealMAX Series is designed for easy installation using standard water and gas connections. However, due to its size and complexity, it is recommended to have this unit installed by a qualified licensed HVAC technician to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Regular maintenance, including checking the anode rod and draining the tank periodically to remove sediment build-up, will help maintain the efficiency and longevity of your water heater.
