Burner Ignites But Water Temperature Is too low
1. The water flow may be so high as to exceed the
capacity of the heater particularly if your supply
water is very cold. Slow the water flow.
2. The gas pressure may be too low. Be sure the gas
flow control valve is in full “on” position.
3. Check the gas pressure while the water is on at full
flow. The LPG pressure should be the “manifold
pressure” as shown on the specification label while the
heater is running. A gas-testing gauge should be
installed on the manifold tap so that it may be read
while heater is running. If it is too low, turn up the gas
regulator to the proper pressure. This should only be
done by a qualified technician.
4. The gas flow may be too low due to improper gas
line diameter (under 3/8 inch outside diameter). The
gas line may be excessively long (over 20-30 feet) or
the on/off solenoid at the tank (if you have one) may
have an orifice that is too small (under 3/16th of an
inch).
5. Check the heater door louvers and flue pipe for
airflow obstructions and clean.
6. Check that the “summer / winter” valve is in the
proper position for the temperature of the incoming
water.
Water Temperature Too Low at Lower Water Flow
Rates
1. Check that the “summer / winter” valve is in the
proper position for the temperature of the incoming
water.
2. Be sure to momentarily turn water flow to high, then
back to the lower flow when turning on a water faucet.
This will bring the gas flow to the required higher
setting.
Water Temperature Is Too Hot or No Temperature
Control.
1. Fuel tank regulator is set too high and manifold
pressure as described above Have the regulator
checked by a qualified technician.
2. Check that the “summer / winter” valve is in the
proper position for the temperature of the incoming
water.
3. Water flow too low for incoming water temperature.
Low Heat Rise and Excessive Water Flow Is
Required To Trigger Water Heater
If you find that your heater requires excessive flow to
activate it (much over .5 gallon per minute), it is likely
that you have cold water bleeding into the hot water
side of your water system.
1. Check that valves and faucets are closed when not
in use. If there is an on/off button on your showerhead,
always turn the water valves off after the shower to
prevent cold water from bleeding into the hot water
system. This will keep the heater from functioning
properly.
2. Be sure that the bypass valve at the water plumbing
connections is in the "off" position. An open valve can also
permit water to bypass heater, causing it not to fire.
