TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Your Instant-Flow SR water heater has no internal user serviceable parts and should be returned to the factory for repair
or replacement. Please contact factory for return authorization. If after following the Installation Instructions, your
Instant-Flow SR does not heat water in accordance with this literature, please check the following:
1. Low Power – Verify your voltage by using a voltage meter. You should obtain your reading off the two outside
terminals located on the heater. Compare the reading against the voltage specified in the Installation
Instructions. The center terminal is always the earth ground.
2. Low Voltage – The percentage of reduction in voltage will result in a like reduction in temperature increase.
3. Check Low Amperage Draw – Check amperage draw using an Amperage Probe. Please compare your
results with the Installation Instructions (Table 1) to determine if the heater is operating correctly.
4. Length of Pipe - Length of pipe run will affect the temperature increase. The heater should be mounted no
more than 12-18 inches from the point of use.
5. Check shut – off valve – Check shut-off valve and make sure valve is open 100% to allow full water pressure
to the heater.
6. Check Flow Rate – Controlling flow rate is essential to insure proper temperature increase. In the case of the
low flow rate heater it is mandatory that the flow control be attached to the end of the faucet. Check your flow
rate to insure proper operation of the heater. Standard Flow Rate Models require 1.0 GPM to activate.
7. Installation – Heater must be installed in a horizontal position. The silver label will then be located in the upper
left corner as you face the heater.
8. Water Supply – Cold Water supply to only feed Instant-Flow SR cold water inlet.
9. Freezing – Instant-Flow SR heaters must be drained and stored if installed in a location subject to freezing.
Disconnect the inlet/outlet compression fittings and blow air through one side of the heater to assist draining.
Failure to completely remove water from the unit will result in freezing and cracking.
