Section 8: Plumbing System
146
NOTE:
Each ignition cycle will have a 15 second purge before spark cycle if the system
is a three try system.
7.
If lock-out occurs before the main burner lights, turn the water heater control switch
to OFF, wait five seconds and turn the switch to the ON position. This will restart the
ignition cycle.
8.
The first start-up of the heater may require several ignition cycles before all the air is
purged form the propane lines.
If the burner will not come on, the following items should be checked before calling a ser-
vice person:
1.
See if the switch is turned OFF.
2.
Make sure the propane supply to the water heater is not empty or turned OFF.
3.
Check to see if the reset button on the water heater ECO is tripped.
Water Heater Bypass (if so equipped)
Your RV may be equipped with a water heater bypass. This three-valve system is located at
either the water heater, or on the utility center panel depending on your model. For detailed
information see the
Water Heater Bypass
section.
Odor from the hot water system
Many water supplies contain sufficient amounts of sulfur to produce an odor, often called
“sulfur water”. Sulfur water can be caused by a chemical action or by bacteria. Generally,
sulfur water is not harmful, only unpleasant to smell. Refer to the water heater manufac-
turer’s owner’s manual for details on eliminating the odor from sulfur water. Odor from
sulfur water is not a service problem.
Anode rod protection
The tank in the water heater is protected by a mag-
nesium or aluminum anode to prolong the life of the
tank by absorbing the corrosive action of hot water.
Under normal use, the anode rod will deteriorate and
because of this, the water heater OEM recommends
the anode rod be replaced yearly. Water with high
levels of iron and/or sulfate will increase the rate of
deterioration; therefore, more frequent replacements
may be required.
If an anode rod is mostly eaten away, replace it with a new one. The water heater manufac-
turer recommends replacement of the anode rod when consumption or weight loss is greater
than 75 percent.
Operating the water heater without the proper anode rod protection will decrease tank life
and will void the tank manufacturer’s warranty on the tank. To extend the anode life, drain
the water from the water heater tank whenever the RV is not being used. Avoid any extended
time of non-use with water in the tank.
Do not replace anode rod or any other component with an accessory part that
is not authorized by the water heater manufacturer, such as an “add-on electric
heating element. Such items are not approved to be installed and could create
an unsafe condition and will void all warranties
