Hot Water--What should I expect?

(1/6) > >>

Jim Chambers:
Still learning about my new to me '01 Patriot with Hydro Hot system. Records indicate that the entire unit was replaced a year ago.
With diesel and electric on, I am able to shower without mixing any cold water with the hot. The temperature is warm, but not hot. It is tolerable, but I would like hotter water. Is there an adjustment? Or is warm water all I should expect?

George Harwell:
Jim, the first thing to check is the outside water faucet if your coach has one. The valves must be off or it will act like a mixing valve and provide only warm water. I presume you have verified the diesel burner is operating so check this out before we go to the temperature adjustment valve. The outside faucet is the most likely culprit.

Tim Westman:
Jim, my unit has a mixing valve that can be reached from the rear access panel on the AquaHot .  My unit was running too hot and a minor adjustment of the mixing valve did the trick.  If memory serves me correct, clockwise increases temperature and a quarter turn is a significant change.  You may want to check there first.

Jim Chambers:
Only outside faucet is a sprayer hose in the utility bay. It has cold and hot valves which are both off.
Not sure where the rear access panel is located. There is what appears to be a removable panel on the front half of the top of the unit.

Joel Ashley:
Jim-

You can always call AquaHot Systems at (800) 685-4298 and ask for assistance.  If you don't have a manual, while on the phone ask them to send you one.  Loren at Beaver Coach Sales there in Bend may be able to help as well, (800) 843-2967.
