Section 8: Plumbing System
Tank (Storage) Water Heater
The water heater manufacturer has preset the sensing limit to maintain the water temperature
when the water heater is activated. Read the safety and operating information in the manu-
facturer’s user guide before attempting to activate the water heater.
Gas/Electric DSI Tank (Storage) Water Heater System
Make sure the water heater is filled with water before use as even momentary operation of
the water heater without water in it may result in damage to the tank and/or controls. Always
open both the hot and cold water faucets when filling the fresh water tank to allow air pock
-
ets to be forced out of the water heater. The thermostat on your water heater is not adjustable
and is designed to maintain a water temperature of 130°F (54°C).
The water heater does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device which auto-
matically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.
Operating instructions
1.
Turn OFF all electric power to the water heater.
2.
Turn OFF the propane supply. Wait five minutes for the propane to clear the area.
If
you smell propane STOP!
Follow the safety instructions listed in the manufacturer’s
owner’s manual. If you do not smell propane, go to the next step.
3.
Turn ON the propane supply.
4.
Turn ON electrical power to the water heater.Turn the switch to the “ON” position. If
the burner does not light, the system will automatically attempt two more tries for igni-
tion before lock-out occurs. NOTE: Each ignition cycle will have a 15 second purge
before spark cycle if the system is a three try system.
5.
If lock-out occurs before the main burner lights, turn the water heater control switch
to OFF, wait five seconds and turn the switch to the ON position. This will restart the
ignition cycle.
6.
The first start-up of the heater may require several ignition cycles before all the air is
purged form the propane lines.
If the burner will not come on, the following items should be checked before calling a ser-
vice person:
1.
See if the switch is turned OFF.
2.
Make sure the propane supply to the water heater is not empty or turned OFF. Check
to see if the reset button on the water heater ECO is tripped.
Water Heater Switch
The “propane GAS” switch enables propane operation of the water heater, and the “ELEC-
TRIC” switch enables electric operation.
NOTE: Water heaters in some models will ONLY have a single LP Gas water
heater switch. These units will not heat water electrically.
Water Heater Bypass
Your RV may be equipped with a water heater bypass. This three-valve system is located at
either the water heater, or on the
utility center
panel depending on your model. For detailed
information refer to the
Utility Center
or
Fresh Water System
sections.
Odor from the hot water system
Many water supplies contain sufficient amounts of sulfur to produce an odor, often called
“sulfur water”. Sulfur water can be caused by a chemical action or by bacteria. Generally,
sulfur water is not harmful, only unpleasant to smell. Refer to the water heater manufac-
turer’s manual for details on eliminating the odor from sulfur water. Odor from sulfur water
is not a service problem.
