WATER HEATER APPEARS TO BE LEAKING

When the water heater is first lit, or after a large
usage of hot water, condensation may form on the
burner and grille at the front of the water heater.
This is quite normal, especially in winter months
and will dry off as the water is heated.
The plastic drain near the bottom left-hand side of
the water heater will drip water during the heating
cycle. It is possible for several litres a day of
condensation to
especially in cool conditions. This water is not
from the mains supply but is condensation from
the atmosphere caused by the efficient operation
of the water heater.
Note: During the heating cycle it is not unusual to
see water vapour clouds steaming from the flue
terminal. This is normal operation of the water
heater.
