Visible corrosion or green/white deposits on copper pipes and fittings inside the Eemax heater.

Safety: Turn OFF power and water before working inside the unit.

Mitigation steps:

• Inspect all copper joints and fittings for active leaks. Repair or replace any leaking fittings.
• Clean corrosion with a wire brush and a mild vinegar solution, then dry thoroughly.
• Verify that the unit is properly grounded and bonded according to Eemax and local code requirements.
• If dissimilar metals are present (e.g., copper to galvanized), install dielectric unions to reduce galvanic corrosion.
• Consider having your water tested; if highly corrosive, install appropriate water treatment.

Severely corroded heat exchangers or fittings should be replaced to prevent leaks and failures.
