- Ensure the electrical outlet is reachable with the power cord.
- Allow at least 12 inches clearance on all sides for airflow.
- Do not install in bathroom or other wet locations.
Filling with water
The Kingwork heater holds 5 gallons of water in its tank. To fill:
- Remove the lid on top of the tank.
- Use a hose or bucket to fill with clean tap water to the maximum fill line inside the tank.

Heating the water
Once filled, plug in the heater and turn it on. The 1500W heating element will bring 5 gallons of water to temperature in around 15 minutes. Set the thermostat knob to the desired temperature setting. The auto shutoff will kick in once it reaches temperature.
Using the hot water
Dispense hot water using the side drain valve. Open the valve and fill containers by placing below the drain. The Kingwork heater can produce over 50 gallons per hour of hot water continuously. Take precautions against burns by testing water temperature before use. Unplug unit when not in use.
Maintenance
To keep your Kingwork water heater working efficiently:
- Drain and refill tank monthly to prevent scale buildup.
- Descaling solution can be used periodically for heavy scale.
- Inspect heating element and connections to ensure no damage or leaks.

How to maintain the water heater for longevity?
With proper maintenance, you can extend the life of your Kingwork bucket water heater and ensure it continues providing hot water when you need it.
Drain and flush regularly
Mineral deposits and sediment from the water supply can build up in the tank over time. To prevent this:
- Drain tank monthly by opening the drain valve and letting all water empty out.
- Flush tank with clean water to wash out any residues.
- If heavy scale is present, fill tank with descaling solution and let soak for 15-30 minutes before draining.
Inspect the heating element
The 1500W heating element heats the water in the tank. Check it periodically for:
- Burned out coils or broken insulation

- Loose electrical connections
Replace the heating element immediately if any issues are found to prevent more damage.
Check valves and fittings
Examine all plumbing connections and valves on the heater for:
- Mineral deposits or corrosion
- Drips or leaks
- Cracks or damage
Tighten any loose fittings. Replace any worn out o-rings or valve parts as needed.
Test thermostat accuracy
Make sure the thermostat maintains the set temperature consistently. Test with a thermometer and adjust or replace thermostat if more than 5°F difference.
Inspect power cord and wiring
Check the power cord and all internal wiring for:
- Fraying or exposed wires
- Loose connections
- Cracks in insulation
Have a qualified electrician make any needed wiring repairs immediately.
With periodic maintenance to remove scale buildup, inspect all components, and make repairs as needed, you can keep your Kingwork water heater running efficiently for years to come.
