  • Page 8 Combustion air requirements The AquaStar water heater holds cold water in its copper heat exchanger and water valve when not in use. Because of this, any cold air that comes down through the unit's vent pipe is capable of freezing these components.
  • Page 9 B An approved gas vent connector must be attached to the top of the water heater and rise vertically at least 12" before entering into an approved gas vent connector elbow.
  • Page 10 Masonry chimney Masonry chimneys shall be built and installed in accordance with NFPS 211 or local codes. A minimum 4" diameter gas vent pipe (metal double wall Type B), or an approved clay flue liner or a listed chimney lining system must be used when venting into a naturally drafting, internal masonry chimney.

    1. Pilot outage during use typically results from the unit's safety overheat/high limit sensors interrupting the pilot circuit. The GWH 1000 P does not have a thermostat. If inlet water is preheated, the unit will overheat, stopping the flow of gas. Plumb inlet with a cold water line only.
  • Page 20: Burners Do Not Light With Water Flow

    4. The GWH 1000 P is designed to modulate gas flow to the burners when water flow varies. If the water pressure in the home is erratic and the water flow is not consistent while a tap is opened, then the temperature of hot water will fluctuate.
