  If you're not getting any hot water from your Amtrol Water Heater, here are a few things to check: * **No power to unit:** Verify the circuit breaker, boiler emergency switch, and boiler reset switch. * **Circulator air-bound:** Purge any air from the system. Make sure the circulator is on the Boiler Supply and check the air vents. * **Faulty circulator or zone valve:** Inspect the circulator and zone valve. Repair or replace them if needed. * **Faulty control:** Check the continuity. Switching circuits should close; if they don't, replace the control. * **Boiler inoperable:** The boiler must be working to generate hot water, so check the boiler system.

  If the relief valve on your Amtrol Water Heater is dripping or opening, here's what to investigate: 1. **Thermal expansion tank undersized or missing:** Install a properly sized thermal expansion tank. 2. **Thermal expansion tank set improperly:** Make sure the precharge air pressure matches the static water pressure. 3. **City pressure too high:** If your city pressure is over 80psi, install a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV). 4. **System over temperature:** Find out what's causing the over-temperature condition and fix it. 5. **Faulty relief valve:** Replace the relief valve.

  If the water from your Amtrol Water Heater is too hot, consider the following: * **Improper plumbing:** If the Boiler Return is plumbed to the suction-side of a heating circulator, overheating can occur when the home’s heat is on. Correct the plumbing. * **Temperature set too high:** Reduce the temperature setting. * **Temperature sensor not fully inserted:** Re-insert the temperature sensor. * **Stuck zone valve:** Repair or replace the zone valve. * **Flow check valve stuck open:** Clean, repair, or replace the flow check valve.

  If the boiler on your Amtrol Water Heater isn't operating when you need hot water, here are a few things to check: * **Improper or loose wiring:** Check the connections against the wiring diagrams. * **Boiler high limit has been reached:** The boiler will periodically cycle on and off during operation. * **Post Purge (POS) set too high:** If the Post Purge is set too high, it might shut the boiler off before the water reaches the desired temperature. Reduce the POS or set it to 0 if the problem persists. * **Problem with boiler system:** Have the boiler diagnosed for proper operation.

Why is my Amtrol HYDROMAX HM-41L producing insufficient hot water?
- R

  If your Amtrol Water Heater isn't providing enough hot water, consider these potential causes: * **Demand exceeds capacity:** Check the sizing of your system based on your household size and boiler output. * **Temperature too low:** Increase the temperature setpoint. * **Boiler lacks output for simultaneous heat & hot water:** Set up for priority. If the problem continues, add storage or increase the tank size. * **Fouled heat exchanger:** During a cold startup, check the Boiler Supply/Boiler Return. If the difference is less than 20°F, clean the heat exchanger and install water treatment equipment to prevent it from happening again. * **Insufficient heat exchanger flow:** Check for an undersized or faulty circulator, a stuck or undersized zone valve. Make sure all shutoff valve...
