Care and cleaning of the water heater.
Cleaning the Filter
In the Hybrid, Heat Pump (only) and High Demand/Boost modes,
the heater moves air through the system and out the back of the
unit. The filter is in place to protect the evaporator from dirt and
dust.
A clean air filter is important to get the highest efficiency.
Occasionally this filter will need to be cleaned (minimum once per
year). When the filter requires cleaning, the Red light above the
Filter button will be illuminated and an audible beep will sound.
NOTE: If the filter gets too dirty, the unit will automatically switch
to Electric (Fan off)/Standard (Fan off) mode and energy savings
will be lost.
Leave the power on. Remove the filter from
the top of the unit. Squeeze two tabs and lift to remove the air
filter. Once it has been removed, the filter can be vacuumed or
wiped clean with a damp cloth or rinsed with warm water.
Once the filter has been cleaned and dried, it can be replaced by
aligning it into the slots in the top of the unit and pushing it down
into place.
Clearing the Condensation Drain Tube
The main drain is intended to carry all condensate away. If it is
clogged, the heat pump will stop operating, the display will show
F20, and an alarm will sound. Press any button to silence the
alarm, then clear the condensate drain by removing any drain
lines and connections, and clearing debris. Reattach drain lines
and connections, then allow the water heater to run.
Periodically inspect the drain lines and clear any debris that may
have collected in the lines.
See Installation Instructions for more information.
Exterior Surfaces
Hand wash with warm water only.
Anode Rod
The anode rod should be removed from the water heater's tank
and inspected after a maximum of 3 years service, then annually
thereafter, and replaced when more than 6" (15.2 cm) of core
wire is exposed at either end of the rod.
NOTE: Artificially softened water requires that the anode rod be
inspected annually.
Due to shock hazard and to prevent accidental water leaks, this
inspection should be done by a qualified servicer or plumber, and
After the clean filter has been reinstalled, press and hold the
FILTER button. If a heating cycle is on when the filter fault is
reset, it will continue in electric mode to finish the cycle. After
that, it will automatically revert to the mode it was in prior to
being switched.
IMPORTANT: Filter must be cleaned when the alarm is displayed.
A dirty filter will make the system work harder and result in a
reduction of efficiency and possible damage to the system. In
order to get the best energy efficiency available, make sure your
filter is clean.
Slots
requires that the electric power and cold water supply be turned
off before servicing the anode rod.
NOTICE: Do not remove the anode rod from the water heater's
tank except for inspection and/or replacement, as operation with
the anode rod removed will shorten the life of the glass-lined tank
and will void warranty coverage.
The anode rod consumption and replacement are not covered by
warranty.

Do you have a question about the RE2H50R10B-1NCWT and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
2 min of hot water then just cold.i reset the tank and it's been circulating but the **** has not kicked in. It's been almost 3 weeks of no hot tub water, and it is cold here in Maine this time of year
The Bradford White RE2H50R10B-1NCWT water heater could provide only 2 minutes of hot water before switching to cold due to several possible causes:
1. Heat Pump Operating Range: If the ambient temperature is outside the heat pump's operating range (35°F to 120°F or 2°C to 49°C), the heat pump will turn off, and the unit will rely on electric elements. If the elements are not functioning properly, hot water may run out quickly.
2. Hybrid Mode Operation: In Hybrid mode, heating elements quickly provide an initial amount of hot water before switching to the heat pump. If the heat pump is not running efficiently or is not heating water fast enough, hot water may be depleted quickly.
3. Electrical Issues: If the water heater is miswired and not receiving the correct voltage (240V AC or 208V AC), it may not heat water properly, leading to short hot water availability.
4. Fan or Compressor Issues: If the fan or compressor is not working correctly, the heat pump may not heat water efficiently, causing hot water to run out quickly.
Checking these factors can help diagnose and resolve the issue.
