    Just wanted to add to this great video: Upon unplug the submissible pump, take the water filter out again to clean after done vinegar looping, very dirty. Also, to reset the water heater, power on, then press button (on/off) 5 times to reset code 55, annual maintenance reminder. Thank you!

      I've got the same, "upside down" problem. Is having another plumber come in and turn the valves over the only solution?

      @@kenlarsen8207 As far as I know, a plumber needs to fix it.. so yes, you need to hire a plumber to do that.
      My original plumber initially denied to come and fix as a warranty as it’s been two years now. I filed a compliant to the state license board against the plumber and the plumber then was willing to resolve the issue. Good luck!

      @@ziwukim I think you're right Z. Taking off the existing valve wouldn't be hard, but a then you'd have to reverse the male and female end of the pipe and that soldering would require a plumber. Thanks for your comment and follow up.

    This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).

    Great video thank you for the information. I saved a lot of money by doing it myself. My only criticism would be. When flushing the cold water for two minutes he didn't show that you must keep emptying the water out lol that's a lot of water coming out there as you're flushing it besides that great video.

  • @Bidoluck

    I did the de-scaling procedure and it seemed to work well. Thank you.
    Last week, the flow sensor in the Navien failed. Do you think running vinegar through using a 25 gal/minute pump (1/6 hp) could damage the flow sensor? And if so, would restricting the heater intake by partially opening the intake valve (vs fully) during the descaling procedure make sense?
    Please let me know. And thanks.

    I have a 1/6hp pump to run a flush, but when I turn it on the vinegar barely trickles out the hot service valve. If I open the cold inlet with city water (60-70psi), water flies out the service valve. Any chance the pump isn’t strong enough or possibly some sort of valve is closed?

    You make great videos. I used the one you made for a navian combi and it’s excellent. There is one problem though. Every time my navian was cleaned it got air in the system and since I didn’t know what to do I had to call a pro so it still cost me money. Can you make a video showing how to get the air out of the system?

    Hello, I encountered your video as I’m searching a solution for a code 25 beeping on my Rinnai RUC98. Thank you for a clear explanation on how to do annual cleaning of water heater. Since we bought the house last 2018, I never done a cleaning of the boiler and we got a hard water here in northern California, can you advise me the model number of the sump pump you used or do you have a link where you bought it, your response would be highly appreciated, thank you.

    I have the same unit. I wonder why I've got chalky, white residue around the thin, silver pipe behind the control panel which goes to the cold intake or the relief valve. I don't think it was there last year. It's not wet, but do I clean it out and replace it with some other caulking or something?

    Yesterday I started to do the annual Rinnai Maintenance flush. The exit water (Hot Side) port stopped flowing. I unplugged the Circulating Pump, plugged it back in, and the exit flow started for a brief time, then stopped. The Circulating Pump is OK, I checked it to be sure it was working properly. With the Unit turned back on, we are getting a Hot Water (supply) flow as expected? Any Thoughts?

    Thanks for the great info Ray. Question, I have a 9.2 gallon Navien gas fired unit. I serviced my unit after watching your video, 7 years by the way oopps. I flushed the unit for two hours with vinegar I hope I didn't over do it? Even after 7 years it looked clean when flushing the unit. We do have soft water in Baker City Oregon Eastern Oregon. My wife says I am not allowed to do anything with out watching your video first.

    What’s the deal with Mike the Rinnai Guy’s extra steps and breaking the filter to get it out? Also he says to inspect the vintori or something like that?

  • @jeffthomas5866
    @jeffthomas5866 3 года назад

    Great video. I'm trying to do this for a neighbor, but his water inlet and outlet valves are 'frozen'. Tried penetrating oil to no avail, and scare to put too much more torque on the valve handles with pliers for fear of breaking. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

    • @solidsnake2085
      @solidsnake2085 3 года назад +1

      How old is the unit? You might be able to get new valves in, but the main reason they're probably frozen is because there hasn't been service on it for a while. I worked on a 17 year old Rinnai that was never serviced. They ended up needing to get a new one.

  • @jimr7275

    • @russellebenton
      @russellebenton 4 года назад

      I have it. The one in this video is a RUR199I, I have the RUR199E.
      The E is for external - mine is mounted on the exterior of my home (Freezing isn't often a major issue in Texas)
      It is quiet. It works well. I REALLY like the recirculation without a dedicated line using the thermal bypass valve that comes with it. Efficient and effective instant hot water.
      Only issue is the wifi module and the app. They are terrible, unreliable and poorly designed. Hopefully they can fix it with an update or something. Go look at the Rinnai app on Google play, I'm not alone in this complaint.
