d. One of the ignition sensors is bent and/or too close to the
burner. Look to ensure that the ignition pins and the heat sensor
are completely vertical and they do a 90 degree to the back of the
box. If they are not straight (i.e. a 45 degree angle) then you can
straighten them with pliers. Please call technical support at
866.356.1992 for assistance with this matter.
e. The thermocouple is either too high or too low to complete the
circuit. Check to ensure that the thermocouple is flush with the
hole in the heat exchanger. Please call technical support at
866.356.1992 for assistance with this matter.
f. The gas sensor wire might have come loose or is no longer
connected. Please call technical support at 866.356.1992 for
assistance with this matter.
The water does not get hot enough:
a. You are operating the unit above 6,000 feet. While it has been
field tested up to 7,200 feet, we only recommend using it below
elevations of 5,500-6,000 feet.
b. Look into the viewer panes (3 teardrop shaped windows on the
front cover) to see if there is a blue flame. If the flame is yellow
there could be a cracked gas regulator. Do Not Attempt to use the
unit and call Eccotemp directly.
Water is flowing, but there is no hot water coming out:
a. Ensure that you have the incoming water supply and the
outgoing water supply hooked up properly. Your water supply
should be attached to your incoming connection (located on the
far right) and the shower head should be attached to the outgoing
water (located as the center connection)
b. Ensure that you have adequate water pressure of at least 20
PSI, sustained.

3. Install vent shield as shown with two Phillips screws
found in the hardware package for a more permanent
fixture. Or, you can simply slide it into its slots for a more
temporary placement.
4. If using a standard garden hose, attach the ½” NPT to
garden hose adapter to the fitting marked “Water Input”
(far right ½” connection). Use “Teflon” tape or other
approved sealing method on the threads for a secure,
water tight fit. Check to make sure the screen inside the
water inlet is in place and clean and then attach your
water input/garden hose.
5. Install gas supply line and regulator to the unit. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN. OVER TIGHTING MAY CRACK THE
GAS REGULATOR CAUSING A GAS LEAK! Check for
any gas smell before ignition! Make sure it is screwed all
the way on.
6. Attach shower nozzle to the fitting marked “Water Outlet”
(middle ½” connection). Connect using hand pressure
ONLY. If installing in an existing water system, connect
the hot water line directly to the ½” NPT fitting.
7. Install two “D” cell batteries in the compartment on the
bottom left of the heater. Check that batteries are facing
the correct direction.
8. Use the top tab on the unit to suspend from a screw
adequate to holding 15 pounds. Place at a comfortable
height without putting stress on the gas hose. If the unit is
to be permanently mounted, use screws to attach the
bottom tab firmly. DO NOT USE SUSPENDED FROM
THE HANDLE!
9. Attach gas regulator with hose to the LP tank. Use hand
pressure only on the plastic connector. LEAVE GAS
TANK VALVE IN THE “OFF” POSITION”
