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
tanks are full and tank selector is not in center
position.
3. Check the dynamic 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. Regulator
may be defective and needs to be replaced. 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 air inlet openings 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 shower
head, 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.
