Residential Gas - continued

Water Flow: When a hot water faucet is opened, water pressure from the well tank or street main forces cold water into the water heater. This pushes hot water out of the tank.

Operation: A residential water heater is not a precise operating appliance. Because the water heater relies on the expansion and contraction of a metal rod, when the thermostat dial is set at an indicated setting (“▲” is recommended as a starting setting. This is approximately 120 degrees F.) The heater may shut off at 110 to 130° F. The heater will consistently shut off at this same temperature. For this same reason, water temperature may drop 15 - 25° F, around the temperature probe, before the main burner is activated. Keep in mind that hot water in the upper part of the tank will probably be very near the “shut off” temperature of the control while incoming cold water drops the water temperature around the thermostat probe. Also, short repeating heating cycles caused by small hot water uses can cause temperatures at the point of use to exceed the thermostat setting by up to 30° F.
