To adjust the temperature, locate the thermostat on your unit. Rotate the dial to increase or decrease the temperature as desired. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on your model.
First, check if the unit is receiving power. Ensure that the circuit breaker is not tripped and the unit is plugged in. If power is not the issue, inspect the thermostat settings and ensure they are correctly configured. If problems persist, consult a professional technician.
Regular maintenance should be performed annually. This includes checking the anode rod, inspecting the unit for leaks, and flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup.
To flush the tank, turn off the power supply, attach a hose to the drain valve, and open the valve to release water and sediment. Be sure to close the valve and remove the hose before turning the power back on.
Unusual noises can result from sediment buildup in the tank. Performing a tank flush can help alleviate these sounds. If noises persist, it might indicate a more serious issue requiring professional attention.
The Weil-McLain AcuTemp Aqua Plus Heater is designed for indoor installation only. Installing it outdoors can expose it to weather elements that may lead to damage and void the warranty.
If you notice a metallic smell in your water or rust-colored water, it may indicate that the anode rod is deteriorating and needs replacement. Regular inspections during maintenance can help determine its condition.
Improving energy efficiency can be achieved by insulating exposed hot water pipes, ensuring that the thermostat is set to an optimal temperature (usually around 120°F), and performing regular maintenance to keep the unit in good working condition.
If the pilot light goes out, follow the manufacturer's instructions to safely relight it. Ensure there are no gas leaks and that the area is well-ventilated before attempting to relight. If unsure, contact a professional technician.
Regularly flushing the tank, using water softeners if you have hard water, and scheduling annual maintenance can help prevent sediment buildup.
