Hot Water--What should I expect?
Joel Ashley:
Hey Bill, thanks for the alert to Roger's site. In addition to our own resident hydronics expert(s), that other forum will be quite useful. As will the other info in your post.
'preciate it!! ;)

Jim Chambers:
Thank you very much Bill. I am confused as to where the mixing valve is located. Is it accessible through the top front cover? Or do I reach it from under the coach?
I assume the stir pump and circulation pumps are under the top front cover.
Joel Ashley:
Mine is different than yours, since around 2003 a good deal of the controls went from mechanical to electronic. But the mixing valve is under the HydroHot's front cover on mine, and since it is merely a way of controling how much cold water is added to the outbound hot water, I would expect it to be just about in the same place on most units. I'm sure another '01 model year owner will chime in here, and Gerald probably knows, or Orman Claxton, but in the meantime you might check "under the hood" of your unit by removing a few screws. The valve may be fairly accessible there and easily adjusted.
My owner's manual has very good illustrations marking the locations of components. You may be able to access manuals and illustrations for your model via Roger Burke's site, or enlist his assistance, here: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/HydronicRVHeating/.

I am waiting for admission to Roger Berke's Yahoo forum. In the meantime here is a pic of my unit, HHE 500-03M. Aqua hot's archives do not include a manual for it but I have downloaded the manual for 500-05 and it does not help me. I have looked underneath the coach and the entire unit is enclosed in sheet metal so no apparent access to the mixing valve. I would like to exercise it if only I could find it!
George Harwell:
If you go to yahoo and enter aquahot.com it displays numerous options for Aqua Hot. When you find the home page schroll all the way down and click on manuals. On the next page schroll all the way down to archived manuals. When you get into the archived select the Hydro Hot 500-07m shop manual. Then schroll down to component location , the first being the front of the unit and the second being the rear of the unit. The mixing valve is clearly marked so you will be able to see where it is located on the unit. As I said before you can see it from the back of the unit with a mirror. If this still leaves you in the dark feel free to call me at 405 642 0389 and I will be glad to talk you through it.
