[@orbitplumbing]

Very happy I could help

[@jimdigitalvideo]

Thanks heaps! I managed to light it up following your instructions! Yay! 😀👍

[@orbitplumbing]

Thanks for watching. Much appreciated!

[@marywithane9166]

Thank you! Finally a decent demo. I was scared the flame was too big but it looks the same so I think I can do it now and not be afraid to blow up 😬🤞

[@orbitplumbing]

So glad it helped you!

[@marywithane9166]

@@orbitplumbingno fault of your instructions but I tried 4 times today but it won't light... I waited between and followed instructions.. might have to call a gas plumber after all 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pilot came on but extinguished when setting the dial to 6.
Any suggestions ?

Is this a thermann? Mine just started leaking today squirting water from the top. Does this mean I have to replace it with a new water tank? Or is it repairable?

[@orbitplumbing]

You will need to replace it

I cant see the flame around that white thing on mine?

[@orbitplumbing]

It sounds like your piezo might not be working

[@deepikarajpoot435]

Can U pls tell us how to turn stop leaking water in this heater

[@orbitplumbing]

If it's leaking water, there's a high possibility the tank hus rusted through and it needs to be replaced. Where is the water coming from?

[@deepikarajpoot435]

@@orbitplumbing it's from upper side I saw near outside downwards below the ignition button

[@deepikarajpoot435]

I have same water heater

[@orbitplumbing]

Yes it sounds like the tank has burst mate. Sorry but that is not fixable. You will need a new unit

[@mareksumguy1887]

I had mine off for over a year... now I can’t get the pilot to light! Ideas?

[@rizwanahmad1682]

Very Informative, Thanks

[@abhishekadelio]

Amazing thanks

[@orbitplumbing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MrDupinderjit]

Thanks mate it helps!

[@foxman7047]

ok you said that the dial doesn't increase the temperature of the water. So what does ??

[@orbitplumbing]

That is slightly incorrect. The unit automatically sits at 65° to make sure bacteria can not grow. The dial actually makes the unit go a bit harder but that also increases the temperature a little bit. You would not want your water over 50° at the tap as that can become very dangerous. In Australia they need to be fitted with a tempering valve at the hot water outlet. This mixes a touch of cold water in with the very hot water to bring the temp down to a safe level. You cant really make the water hotter than what you recieve from the unit on max setting.

Thanks bro

[@orbitplumbing]

No worries at all

[@muhammadayaz-kh8gk]

Thanks alot

[@MarceloBrignardello]

When I release it, the flame goes off 😔

[@mareksumguy1887]

Either you’re not holding it long enough... or the thermocouple needs replacement.
