Temperature
• The unit will not heat the water if the flow rate is less than
0.75 gallons per minute.
Open the fixture more or open other fixtures so that a greater
flow passes through the unit, and the unit should begin
heating again.

Amount of Hot Water

• When hot water is demanded at other fixtures, the
amount available may be reduced. The maximum flow
available from this unit at a 45° ° ° ° ° F temp. rise = 6.3 GPM.
• Pressure fluctuations and other plumbing conditions can
cause the temperature and pressure at a fixture to be
unstable, but it should stabilize after a short time.
• There are some types of hot water taps that discharges large
volumes of hot water at first but stabilize after time.
• To keep the temperature stable, the heater limits the
amount of water that can flow through it to a small
amount initially, but the amount increases over time.
• When hot water is used for other fixtures while filling the
bath tub, the tub will not fill as much.
• If there is water in the tub already, or when filling is stopped
and restarted, the tub will fill more.
• The flow meter alarm is set to sound when hot water
is continuously discharged for the set volume of water.
If mixing valves are used, or if cold water is mixed with hot
water at the fixture, the tub will fill more than the setting
of the flow meter alarm.
• Is the water filter clogged? ( p.14)
