TROUBLE SHOOTING AND COMMON QUESTIONS
Q
- I don't have any hot water when I open the tap!
A
- Make sure there is gas and electricity to the Continuum 2424WC.
(the power is turned on and the gas is turned on)
Q
- When I was using the hot water, the water got cold!
A
- If you adjusted the flow from the tap to lessen it, you may have gone
below the minimum flow required. The Continuum 2424WC requires .6
GPM to operate. If you mix the water with a tap and attempt to get a
temperature well below the temperature being controlled by the unit, it
may drop the flow below .6 GPM. Decrease the temperature supplied
by the Continuum 2424WC at the remote control or increase your
total flow.
Q
- White smoke comes out of the exhaust!
A
- During colder weather when the exhaust temperature is hotter than
the air, the exhaust fumes condense producing white steam.
Q
- When I open a hot tap. I do not immediately get hot water!
A
- Hot water must travel through your plumbing from the Continuum
2424WC to the faucet. This can take from 2 to 10 or more seconds
depending upon your plumbing system.
Q
- After I turn off the hot water tap, the fan on the Continuum 2424WC
continues to run!
A
- The fan is designed to be on for 65 seconds after the flow of water
stops.This is to ensure constant water temperatures during rapid start-
ing and stopping, as well as exhausting any residual gas flue prod-
ucts from the unit.
