Last week we installed an electric tanklessho****ersystem.
Everything worked as expected for several days, so we know things were
hooked up right. For the last couple of days there has been a strange
ho****erproblemthat no one can figure out. Here's what's
happening:
Ho****erwill only come out of the kitchen sink, but only if the
bathtub is running full blast. Ho****erwill not come out of the
kitchen sink if the tub is not running. Theho****erto the kitchen
sink does not cut out as long as the bath is running.
Ho****erwill not come out of the tub valve or the valve in the bath
sink at all now.
Ho****erwill go into the clothes washer for a few seconds and then
goes cold.
IOW, the onlyho****erin the house goes to the kitchen sink, and
then only when the tub is running.
Other info: the bath valve is a single-control type. we tried
replacing the mixing valve in the tub twice; no effect. we looked
under the house to see if there is aho****erline leak, but there
isn't.
Does this make sense to anyone out there?


When you say "ho****erwill not come out of ...", do you mean tha****ercomes out, but it is nothot-- or do you mean that nowaterat
all comes out?


Cold water comes out.
