Read all instructions before servicing the Aqua-Hot unit. Aqua-

Hot Heating Systems is not liable for damage resulting from 

failing to follow instructions contained in this manual, and any 

other Aqua-Hot documentation relevant to this unit.
•  Read this manual before servicing the Aqua-Hot System 

to reduce the risk of injury to persons or damage to the 

equipment.

• 

The  product  identity  label  contains  specifications  of  the 

unit, to what standards it has been tested, and important 

safety notices.

•  Disconnect electric wiring to the Aqua-Hot System before 

welding or plasma cutting the coach to avoid damage to 

equipment.

•  The Aqua-Hot tank and heating loop operate at 0 PSI (zero 

pressure system). Air pressure to the tank must not exceed 

18 PSI. Exceeding this rating will cause internal damage to 

the Aqua-Hot.

•  Use caution when working on or near any gas systems.
•  DO NOT connect the 12-volt DC power to the Aqua-Hot if the 

vehicle requires welding.

•  At maximum operating temperature, the coolant and vapor 

will be very hot and scalding that may result in serious 

burns or injury. Be aware of hot surfaces.

•  Use special caution when children are present. Children 

must not be allowed to play with the heater or perform 

cleaning and/or maintenance.

•  Installation and repairs may only be carried out by an 

authorized, factory-trained Aqua-Hot technician. The 

heating system must be serviced in accordance with local 

codes, or, in the absence of local codes, follow NFPA 1192. 

National safety regulations must be adhered to.

If the information in this manual is not followed 

exactly, a fire may result, causing property damage, 

personal injury or death.

Introduction to this Document

Welcome to the Aqua-Hot 125DN Service Manual. This 

manual will serve as a guide for diagnosing and repairing the 

Aqua-Hot, how to perform standard maintenance, and guide 

you through troubleshooting procedures to repair the Aqua-Hot. 

This  service  manual  is  designed  to  aid  trained  and  qualified 

technicians to properly service and troubleshoot the Aqua-Hot 

125DN.

Each section in this manual is dedicated to the diagnosis 

of  specific  components  within  the  Aqua-Hot  which  may  be 

inhibiting the operation of the heater. 

Troubleshooting and diagnosis of the Aqua-Hot is most 

efficiently and effectively accomplished with the Aqua-Hot LCD 

display, which will relay in plain-language, diagnosis of many 

Aqua-Hot related issues.

If additional assistance is needed in diagnosing and 

repairing the Aqua-Hot, please contact our Technical Service 

Department at 574-AIR-XCEL (574-247-9235) from 7:00am to 

4:00pm MST Monday through Friday.

As  with  any  appliance,  allow  the  Aqua-Hot  to 

completely  shut  down  BEFORE  disengaging  the 

coach 12V power disconnect.

Heat Priority Option:

The Aqua-Hot comes equipped with the three-way valve 

(sometimes known as the summer/winter valve). This controls 

the  flow  of  the  antifreeze  and  water  heating  solution  within 

the Aqua-Hot to deliver either hot water or interior as priority. 

Tapping on this element will change the valve’s orientation. 

When this element displays “INT. HEAT”, this valve is oriented 

to provide interior heat by circulating the heating solution 

throughout the interior heating zone. When the element says 

“HOT WATER”, the valve is oriented so that the heating solution 

is routed to prioritize hot water. 

High Altitude Option:

The Aqua-Hot 125D comes equipped with a High Altitude 

mode that allows the external diesel burner to operate properly 

at high altitudes. It is recommended any time the coach is at 

an altitude higher than 5,000 feet, to activate the High Altitude 

button on the LCD screen. This modifies the fuel pump rate to 

decrease the flow of diesel fuel. This allows for less emissions, 

less carbon build-up, and proper diesel burner operation.

Important Notes:

• 

A  qualified  installer  or  service  technician  must  perform 

equipment installation or service. Contact Aqua-Hot for 

Factory Authorized Service Centers or Certified Technicians 

located near you at www.aquahot.com/service-help, or call 

us at 574-AIR-XCEL (574-247-9235). Warranty work must 

be performed by an Aqua-Hot Authorized Service Center

• 

Your on-product identity label contains the specifications of 

your unit. Factory settings may be adjusted by the vehicle 

manufacturer, confirm final setting with your dealer.

• 

This  heating  system  has  been  certified  for  installation  in 

recreational vehicles only.

•  Please read this manual and follow instructions to avoid 

injuries during service and/or operation.

The diesel burner is the Aqua-Hot’s primary and most powerful 

heat source, and provides all of the heating and hot water 

needs when cold temperatures exist, and/or when there is 

a high demand for hot water. It can be activated by turning 

the burner on by tapping BURNER to ON on the LCD screen 

shown below. The burner has 2 modes: ON and OFF. While 

ON, the burner will maintain a tank temperature of 180°F and 

minimum temperature of 160°F as needed, using temperature 

readings from the coach interior thermistors. In OFF mode, the 

burner is off and will not provide any heat to the Aqua-Hot tank. 

The electric element has the same functionality as the diesel 

burner. The burner and electric may be ON simultaneously.
