Why the Water Bucket Position Matters
Many customers believe that water leakage is caused by a faulty fireplace. In reality, one of the most common causes is incorrect water bucket placement. This guide explains the correct installation method for Eblth water vapor fireplaces.
If the water bucket is placed at the same height as the fireplace, or higher, gravity can create a siphon effect. This may cause continuous water flow and eventually lead to water leakage.
Fortunately, this issue is easy to prevent.
The Correct Installation
Always place the water bucket lower than the fireplace.
This height difference allows the water supply system to work correctly and maintains stable water flow.
Your water hose should also remain straight and free from sharp bends or blockages.
Incorrect Installation
Do not place the water bucket:
- On top of the fireplace
- Beside the fireplace at the same level
- On a shelf higher than the fireplace
These installation methods may increase the risk of water leakage.
Correct Installation
Place the water bucket:
- On the floor
- Inside a cabinet below the fireplace
- Anywhere that remains lower than the fireplace throughout operation
This simple step helps maintain proper water flow and prevents siphoning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the bucket need to be lower?
Because water naturally flows from a higher position to a lower position. Keeping the bucket below the fireplace allows the pump to control the water flow correctly.
Can I put the bucket beside the fireplace?
Yes, as long as the bucket is lower than the fireplace.
Can I place it on top of the fireplace?
No. This may cause continuous water flow and increase the risk of leakage.
Does this apply to all Eblth water vapor fireplaces?
Yes. This installation guideline applies to all Eblth water vapor fireplace models.
