PLEASE NOTE: THIS MODEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED, NOR HAS IT BEEN TESTED FOR ANY PERMANENT OR INDOOR INSTALLATION. THIS 

MODEL IS PART OF OUR PORTABLE, OUTDOOR SERIES AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN DOWN AND STORED IN A WARM, DRY PLACE AFTER EVERY 

USE. THIS MANUAL AND ALL ECCOTEMP CONTENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. VISIT SUPPORT.ECCOTEMP.COM FOR THE 

LATEST VERSION OF THE MANUAL AND WARRANTY. 

Portable tankless water heater will not start – there are no audible clicks at startup:

1. The fi rst thing to check is to ensure that the incoming water is connected to the “right” connection side 

of the portable tankless water heater. If the incoming and outgoing connections are reversed, the portable 

tankless water heater will not work. The incoming is on the far right and the outgoing water connection is in 

the middle.
2. The “On/Off ” switch should be with the “-“ sign pushed down.
3. Check to make sure you have fresh batteries and they are installed in the correct position.
4. Make sure that you have a minimum of 25 PSI of sustained water pressure. Number one reason that the 

portable tankless water heater does not ignite is that there is not enough water pressure.
5. Check to ensure that no wires have disconnected inside the portable tankless water heater during shipping. 

Make sure the gas is OFF and the “On/Off ” switch is in the OFF position. The front cover is held on 8 screws: 

2 on top holding on the black vent screen, 2 on the upper/back of the rain cap, 2 on the bottom, and 2 inside 

the top under the rain cap. The knobs pull off . All the wiring is done with push together plastic connectors. 

They are all visible without further dismantling of the portable tankless water heater. It should be obvious 

when a wire has become disconnected.

NOTE: Call technical support at 866.356.1992 if unsure how to remove the front cover.

6. It is possible that some debris or epoxy might have entered the water regulator. Check to see if the fi lter 

screen on the water inlet is clear of debris. You can also reverse the hookup by taking your water source and 

hooking it up to the water outlet side and back fl ushing the system to ensure there is no blockage.
7. If you’ve checked everything and the water heater still continues to not ignite, you can try a water pressure 

adjustment as follows: Looking up at the bottom of the portable tankless water heater, you will see 2 oval 

holes in the case. The hole that is the furthest on the right looks up at the water regulator where you will see 

two Phillips head screws. Take the screw that is furthest on the right in about a ¼ or ½ turn. This will enable 

the portable tankless water heater to operate on a lower water pressure by restricting fl ow.
8. There is a simple test that we can help you perform if you are unaware if you have enough water pressure.

9. Propane gas cylinders sometimes are contaminated with air, especially new tanks upon their fi rst fi lling. 

Cycle the portable tankless water heater on and off  by using the shower head switch several times (5) to purge 

the air from the gas.
10. Should a portable tankless water heater fail to light or stay lit after 10 cycles, please visit
