  2. 9/13/23, 10:25 AM Most Common RV Tankless Water Heater Problems and Solutions   Welcome to our blog post on common RV tankless water heater problems and their solutions. As RV enthusiasts, we understand the importance of having a reliable and efficient hot water supply while on the road. However, like any other appliance, tankless water heaters can encounter issues that may disrupt your camping experience. In this article, we will explore some of the most common problems that RV owners encounter with tankless water heaters and provide practical solutions to help you mitigate these issues. The Most Common RV Tankless Water Heater Problems Cold Water Sandwich: One frequent complaint with tankless water heaters is the occurrence of a "cold water sandwich," where bursts of cold water interrupt the continuous flow of hot water. This can be a frustrating and uncomfortable experience. To address this problem, you can try adjusting the water flow to ensure a more consistent temperature. Additionally, installing a mixing valve can help create a more steady and reliable hot water supply. Mineral Buildup: Over time, mineral buildup can occur inside the tankless water heater, particularly in areas with hard water. This buildup can negatively impact the heater's performance and efficiency. To combat this issue, regular descaling is necessary. You can descale the unit yourself using vinegar or a specially formulated commercial descaler, following the manufacturer's instructions. https://fogattiliving.com/blogs/news/common-rv-tankless-water-heater-problems-and-their-solutions 2/11

This can result in insufficient hot water supply or even complete failure of the tankless water heater. To alleviate this problem, reducing water usage or upgrading your RV's water pump can help optimize water pressure. Alternatively, if your RV has multiple water sources, installing a second tankless water heater might be a viable solution. Error Codes on Display: RV tankless water heaters often have error codes that indicate specific issues or malfunctions. Understanding these codes can help you troubleshoot the problem efficiently. Common error codes can be related to gas supply, venting, or power connections. To rectify these issues, you can check the gas supply connection, inspect for proper venting, or ensure all power connections are secure. If you are unsure about the error codes or how to fix the problem, consult the manufacturer's manual or seek professional assistance. No Flame: If your tankless water heater fails to ignite or produce a flame, several factors could be to blame. These include a faulty ignition system, gas supply issues, or blocked burners. To address this problem, check the gas connections for any leaks or obstructions, troubleshoot the igniter system, or contact a professional technician for further assistance. https://fogattiliving.com/blogs/news/common-rv-tankless-water-heater-problems-and-their-solutions 3/11
