Ittakeslongtimetoget
hotwateratthe
fixtures.

 Thetimeittakestodeliverhotwaterfromthewaterheaterto
yourfixturesdependsonthelengthofpipingbetweenthetwo.
Thelongerthedistanceorthebiggerthepipes,thelongeritwill
take
togethotwater.
Thewate risnothot
enough.


 Comp aretheflowandtemperature.Seethechartsonp.41.
 Checkcrossplumbingbetweencoldwaterlinesandhotwater
lines.
 Isthegassupplyvalvefullyopen?(p.25)
 Isthegaslinesizedproperly?(p.18)
 Isthegassupplypressureenough?
(p.19)
 Isthesettemperaturesettoolow?(p.28‐29)
Thewate ristoohot.
 Isthesettemperaturesettoohigh?(p.28‐29)
Thehotwaterisnot
availablewhenafixture
isopened.

 Makesuretheunithas120VAC/60Hzpowersupply.
 Ifyouareusingtheremotecontroller,isthepowerbuttonturned
on?

hotwaterfixturesufficientlyopentodrawatleast0.5GPM
throughthewaterheater?(p.28)
 Istheunitfrozen?(p.30)
 Isthereenoughgasinthetank/cylinder?(ForPropanemodels)
Thehotwaterturns
coldandstayscold.
