Why won't the burners ignite on my Bosch Water Heater when I turn on the hot water?

If the burners on your Bosch Water Heater don't ignite when you turn on the hot water, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the cold water inlet is connected to the correct side of the heater. Second, the water flow rate might be too low; a minimum of 0.8 gallon/minute (3 l/m) is needed to activate the heater. Third, a dirty cold water inlet filter screen can cause this issue; remove and clean it, also check the faucet aerator screens. Finally, a crossover in the plumbing could be the problem. To check this, shut off the cold water supply to the heater and individually open each hot water tap; there should be no water flowing under constant pressure.
