Replacement Procedure:

1.  Shut off the external domestic water connection, and open 

a hot water faucet valve within the coach to relieve the 

water pressure.

2.  Open the domestic water drain valve on the Aqua-Hot and 

release water in the system.

• 

Attach hose to the ½” PEX barb to release fluid without 

spilling throughout the coach

•  Ensure that the hose does not rise from the drain valve 

otherwise proper drainage will not happen.

3.  Disconnect the coach side domestic water connections
4.  Remove the top cover and side covers of the Aqua-Hot to 

gain access to the interior components.

•  Save the screws and washers to be reused later.

5. 

Using a ⅜” (10mm) socket, remove the nut which secures 

the domestic water valve assembly to the side of the Aqua-

Hot cabinet (shown below).

6. 

Disconnect the swivel fittings attached to the brass tees on 

the tempering valve.

• 

One swivel fitting is attached to the red PEX and the 

other is attached to the blue PEX.

• 

There may be residual fluid in the lines. Use clean-up 

items and tools as needed.

7.  Remove the P-clamp from the stud on the wall of the Aqua-

Hot. Save the P-clamp for reuse later.

8.  Slide the tempering valve assembly gently backwards 

towards the coolant tank until the PEX tubes of the 

assembly are no longer protruding from the Aqua-Hot.

•  Ensure you do not collide with the controller or damage 

any other components in the Aqua-Hot.

9.  Remove the assembly from the Aqua-Hot.
10. 

Remove all three fittings from the tempering valve as shown 

below.

11.  Discard the defunct mixing valve.
12. 

Using Teflon tape and domestic water safe thread sealant, 

reinstall all fittings to previous orientations.

13.  Place previous P-clamp onto the assembly before inserting 

into the Aqua-Hot.

14.  Insert repaired assembly into the Aqua-Hot and slide the 

red and blue PEX through their ports in the front face of the 

Aqua-Hot.

•  Use soapy water as necessary to lubricate the PEX 

going through the rubber grommets in the ports.

•  DO NOT SPRAY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND WIRES 

WITH SOAPY WATER.

15. 

Connect the swivel fittings back to their respective places 

on the assembly.

• 

Do NOT over-tighten the swivel fittings.

16.  Using the nut from Step 5, tighten down the P-clamp on the 

assembly.

17.  Reattach the domestic water lines and check for leaks 

before replacing the side and top panels of the Aqua-Hot.

18.  After checking for leaks, replace the side and top panels of 

the Aqua-Hot using the screws from Step 4.

Fluid Circulation Pump

Introduction:

The fluid circulation pump operates to provide fluid circulation 

to either the interior heating zone or the antifreeze boiler tank 
depending on the heating and hot water needs at the time.

Troubleshooting Procedure:

If the fluid circulation pump has failed, it will typically indicate 

an over-current fault on the controller fault log. If this is the case, 

the fault must be verified before replacing the circulation pump. 

Follow the procedure to diagnose the fluid circulation pump.

Power cycle the Aqua-Hot 

to clear any current faults.

Locate the Aqua-Hot LCD 

screen. Navigate to the 

TESTING page (Figure 56a).

Activate the internal 

circulation pump, and if 

necessary the boost pump

Does the suspect pump 

activate?

Navigate to the faults page 

(Figure 56b).

Using a multi-meter, test 

for voltage between pins 

J6-7 and J6-8.

No

Yes

Is voltage present between 

these pins?

Navigate to the TEST tab 

and activate the internal 

circulation pump

No

Yes

Replace the 

circulation 

pump

Replace the 

Aqua-Hot 

controller

Yes

Are any pump over-current 

faults displayed?

Replace the 

circulation 

pump

This pump is 

operating as 

intended.

No

NOTE: 

The side panel has been made transparent in the 

view above to aid in the explanation of the repair. DO NOT 

remove the side panels. Doing so risks irreparable damage 

to the Aqua-Hot.
