B1716-00003-GR Water Heater(with pump and inlet hose) Functions & Usage
How is the water pump powered?
The water pump is powered by connecting it to the water heater.
How to properly install and tighten the gas connection parts?
Step 1: Verify that the following components are included: sealing rubber ring, quick-connector fitting for Pressure reducing valve, and S19 wrench.
Step 2: Install the sealing ring into the quick-connector fitting with the beveled side facing inward, ensuring that the sealing ring is not twisted.
Step 3: Connect the quick-connector fitting to the inlet connector. Hand-tighten it in a clockwise direction firstly, then use a wrench to securely tighten it until fully snug, ensuring there is no looseness.
Step 4: Unlock the quick-connect end of the pressure reducing valve, snap it onto the quick-connector fitting. A clicking sound will indicate successful locking. After locking, please ensure there is no looseness.
Troubleshooting Instructions
1.Will not start/turn on. There are no audible clicks at startup.
a.The first thing to check is to ensure that the incoming water on the “right” side of the water heater. lf the incoming and outgoing are reversed, the heater will not work. The incoming is on the far right and the outgoing is in the middle.
b.Check to make sure you have batteries fully charged and they are installed in the correct position.
c.The top reason that the heater does not ignite is that there is not enough water pressure. You need a minimum of 3.6 PSI/ 25kPa, sustained water pressure. Municipal water should supply enough water pressure.
d.lt is possible that some debris or epoxy might have entered the water inlet pipe. Check to see if the filter screen on the water inlet is clear of debris. You can also reverse the hookup by taking your water source and hooking it up to the water outlet side and back flushing the system.
e.Propane gas cylinders sometimes are contaminated with air, especially new cylinders upon their first filling. Cycle the water heater turning off and on your output flow or similar.
If the heater fails to light or stay lit after 10 cycles, please reply to let us know.
2.Water heater starts, then shuts off.
a.The water heater requires a minimum if about 0.53 gallons per minute(2 liters) and a minimum of about 3.6 PSl/25 kPa.
Note: Water pressure is at the lower end of operating parameters. You will need a sustained water pressure of approximately 35-65 PSI/ 240-250 kPa for adequate use if you are using a 12/18/120 volt pump.
b.Out of , or low on gas. Propane gas sometimes are contaminated with air, especially new tanks upon their first filling. Cycle the water heater on and off using the shower head switch several times to purge the air from the gas. If this does not clear the air then the tank must be purged.
c.One of the ignition sensors is bent and/or too close to the burner. Check to ensure that the ignition pins and the heat sensor are completely vertical and they do a 90 degree to the back of the box. If they are not straight (i.e. a 45 degree angle) then you can straighten them with pliers.
d.The thermocouple is either too high or too low to complete the circuit. Check to ensure that the thermocouple is flush with the hold in the heat exchanger.
e.The gas sensor wire (looks like a black ground wire on the gas regulator) flange might have come loose or is no longer connected.
f.There is a faulty heat sensor. This is usually diagnosed by taking the front case off of the heater and let it run. If it continues to operate, then one of the sensors and/or the wire harness needs to be replaced. This may also be caused by insufficient clearance on the back of the heater where the majority of air intake is.
g.The valve on the propane tank should be all the way “Open”.
h.Fully charged batteries are required for ignition. Make sure batteries are aligned in the proper polarity(+/-).
3.The water does not get hot enough.
a.You are operating the heater above 2,000 feet/ 600 meters. We only recommend using it below elevations of 2,000 feet.
b.Look into the viewer panes (middle horizontal windows on the front cover) to see if there is a blue flame. If the flame is yellow there could be a cracked gas regulator.
Do Not Attempt to use the heater.
4.Water is flowing, but there is no hot water coming out.
a.Ensure that you have the incoming water supply and the outgoing water supply hooked up properly. Your water supply should be attached to your incoming connection (located on the far right)and the shower head should be attached to the outgoing water(located at the middle connection).
b.Ensure that you have adequate water pressure of at least 3.6 PSl/25 kPa, sustained.
c.Ensure that you have adequate gas in your propane bottle and that the LP regulator is threaded all of the way on to the heater.
d.Fully charged batteries are required for ignition. Make sure batteries are aligned in the proper polarity(+/-).
5.The water heater does nothing/not work.
a.Ensure that you have your water source hooked up to the water inlet side(far right connection)and the shower handle is hooked upon the water outlet side(middle connection).
b.Ensure that you have an adequate supply of propane.
c.Ensure that you have batteries fully charged.
6.Water pressure is too high.
If water pressure is over 110 PSI/ 760 kPa, the water-out valve will release water and lower the pressure.
Increase the valve pressure limit according to local water supply pressure.
7.Water pressure is too low.
If water pressure is below 3.6 PSI/ 25 kPa, the water heater cannot be ignited.
Please use the water heater later when pressure becomes higher or back to normal level.
8.Low battery.
The power of battery will become less after use for some time, thus the water heater cannot be ignited.
Please charge the battery in time.
9.Triggering over-heat protection.
The water heater automatically shuts off when water temperature is 176°F(80°C).
Re-start water heater later when water becomes cooler.
