REDUCED HOT WATER FLOW WHEN HEAT EXCHANGER IS COLD
At a cold start-up, i.e. when the water heater has not operated for some time (which is most often first thing
in the morning), the initial flow of hot water may be reduced for a period of 5-10 seconds while the heat
exchanger warms up. This is both an energy and water saving feature of this water heater. Once the
heat exchanger has warmed up the hot water flow will increase and remain at normal flow levels. This
feature will only occur at a cold start-up and not when the heat exchanger is already warm from a recent use
of hot water.
NO WATER FROM THE HOT TAP
No flow of water from the hot tap may indicate a restriction in or failure of the cold water supply to the water
heater. Check for water flow at other taps and that the cold water isolation valve
open.
