Troubleshooting

Before calling for service, check the troubleshooting list of common issues.

If you are unable to resolve a problem, contact your locally authorized distributor.

PROBLEM 

ISSUE

POSSIBLE CAUSE

           SOLUTION

No hot 

water and 

display do 

NOT light up

Power outage or 

faulty wiring.

Check the power supply. Check the circuit breakers.

Make sure the breakers at main electrical panel are ON. 

You may have a faulty breaker or unit may be wired 

incorrectly.

Make sure the shutoff valve on the unit’s incoming water 

supply line is fully open.

The flow rate needed 

to activate the heating 

element (0.5 gpm) has 

not been reached.

Increase the flow rate from the water supply source.

Clean the filter screen on the unit’s water inlet.

No hot 

water and 

display 

DOES light 

up

Reset the unit

Refer to manual (Page 18) for diagram of reset points.

 Make sure to shut all power on your breaker panel 

before attempting to reset unit. All resets must be 

pressed.

Potential internal part 

failure

Please call us for further technical assistance.

Water is 

heated, 

but not hot 

enough.

The water flow rate 

exceeds the heating 

capacity of the heater.

Reduce the water flow rate at the faucet or slightly close 

the shutoff valve on the unit’s incoming water supply line 

to reduce the water flow rate.

Voltage less than 240 

Volts

The heating elements on your water heater are designed 

for 240 volts. When used with a lower voltage, they 

produce less heating power. You may need to upgrade 

to a larger input heater.

Crossed Wires.

If it’s a new installation, double check the wiring to 

confirm that it is correct. 

Temperature setting is 

too low.

Increase the temperature setting on the unit.

Water pressure is less 

than 0.5 bar (7 psi).

Make sure the shutoff valve is fully open, and the water 

supply line is not blocked.

Mixing too much cold 

water

You do not need to mix as much cold water with your 

tankless water heater compared to when you use a 

conventional water heater. You may also have an anti- 

scald feature on your faucet that is mixing cold water. 

These types of faucets can usually be adjusted to reduce 

the amount of cold water mixed. 

Thermal loss due to 

long pipe run.

As the hot water from the heater runs through the hot 

water delivery system to your faucet, some heat will be 

lost especially if it has long distance to travel or the pipes 

are cold. This is normal. You can compensate for this by 

increasing the setting on your water heater if you need/ 

want hotter water.
