| Symptom | Possible Cause | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water does not flow right away or at all | Tank pressurization | Normal...Due to high temperature and for safety reasons, the tank is not under pressure causing a slight delay in water flow. |
| Cold water supply valve may not be completely open | Make sure the cold water supply valve is completely open | |
| Hoses or tubes may be kink or twisted | Check water lines to assure that hoses/tubes are not kinked or twisted | |
| No Flow | Tank may not be full | The tank can take up to 15 minutes to fill and heat the water after initial install or after draining the tank. |
| Incorrectly operating the handle | Press button and turn the faucet handle forward 90 degrees to start water flow. | |
| Water Stops Flowing | May have exceeded approximately 60 cups of water within an hour | This product is not intended to produce a continuous flow of hot water.The standard model will produce up to 60 cups of water per hour at approximately 190°F (88°C). Due to high water temperature, for safety reasons, the tank is not under pressure. Consequently, there is a slight delay of water flow after the faucet has been activated. This is normal and indicates that the expansion chamber is functioning properly. |
| Low Flow | Flow Expectation | Flow is limited to 0.6 gpm at 60 psi. |
| Debris or blockage in spout tip | Remove and clean the screen assembly. Spout tip can be unscrewed by turning it counter-clockwise. | |
| Hoses or tubes may be kink or twisted | Check water lines to assure that hoses/tubes are not kinked or twisted. See the Diagram above for installation configuration. |
