Surely there would be a connection diagram with a new water heater. If so, scan it and post, we have some real techeads here who can set you straight. I doubt if anyone has actually replaced their heater with a Swift but I’m sure someone will be able to help.

More detail like model number as Swift seem to have a couple, their installation manuals seem to lack any real detail.... But info is online, the makers wont tell you how to fix a 240 or gas connection..

Hi,
Swift seem to have mainly one 28l water heater with possibly three variants: (GHW) Electric, (GHE) Gas, or (GEHW) Dual. They also have an add on room heater called an Ecotherm.

Here is an excerpt from the manual for the water heater:

GAS CONTROL CONNECTION

The gas system is controlled by a flame monitor which lights the gas and monitors the flame. In the event of a flame failure it will automatically shut off the gas until the system is reset. There are four wires located at the bottom right corner which should be connected as follows: Red is 12V DC Positive, Black is 12V DC Negative, Yellow is positive to LED and White is Negative to LED.


Here is a copy of the installation manual from the Swift website:

take care
Mike
