Trouble Shooting for Common Issues

I don't have any hot water when I open the tap.
Make sure there is gas, water, and electricity to the
Rinnai water heater (power is turned on and the gas is
turned on).
When I was using the hot water, the water got cold.
If you adjusted the flow from the tap to lessen it, you
may have gone below the minimum flow required. The
Rinnai water heater requires a minimum flow rate to
operate. (See the specification page for the flow rate
of your model.)
If you are experiencing issues with higher temperature
settings, then Rinnai recommends reducing the
temperature setting. Selecting a temperature closer to
that which is actually used at the faucet will increase
the amount of hot water being delivered to the faucet,
due to less cold water mixing at the fixture.

Water Quality

Consideration of care for your water heater should
include evaluation of water quality. If the water quality
exceeds the target levels provided in the table, you
may want to treat or condition the water.

White smoke comes out of the exhaust.
During colder weather when the exhaust temperature
is much hotter than the outside air, the exhaust fumes
condense producing water vapor.
When I open a hot tap, I do not immediately get hot
water.
Hot water must travel through your plumbing from the
Rinnai water heater to the faucet. The time period for
hot water to reach your fixture is determined by the
amount of water in the plumbing system between the
water heater and the fixture, water pressure, and the
flow rate of the fixture.
After I turn off the hot water tap, the fan on the
Rinnai water heater continues to run.
The fan is designed to continue running for a short time
after the flow of water stops. This is to ensure constant
water temperatures during rapid starting and stopping,
as well as exhausting any residual gas flue products
from the unit.
