COMMON TROUBLESHOOTING COMMENTS ON THE OPERATION OF THE EVERHOT

TANKLESS WATER HEATER

Comment: I don’t have any hot water when I open the tap!

Make sure the gas and electricity is turned on to the water heater. The remote temperature display should have the green light lit when a hot water tap is open and the water heater is operating. Make sure there are no error codes flashing on the display.

Comment: When I was using the hot water, the water got cold!

If you reduced the hot water flow from the tap, you may have reduced the flow below the minimum flow to operate the water heater. If you mix the hot water with cold water at the tap in an attempt to get a temperature below the temperature being produced by the water heater, the hot water flow through the water heater may drop below the minimum flow required to operate the water heater. To remedy this situation, either increase the total water flow from the tap or using the remote temperature controller, decrease the setpoint temperature of the water heater to the temperature desired at the tap.

Comment: White smoke comes out of the exhaust!

During colder weather when the exhaust temperature is much hotter than the ambient air, the moist exhaust gases condense producing a white vapor cloud.

Comment: When I open a hot water faucet I do not immediately get hot water!

Hot water must travel through the plumbing piping to the faucet. This may take from 10 to 30 seconds depending upon the length of cold plumbing pipe the water must travel through.

Comment: After I turn off the hot water tap, the fan on the water heater continues to run!

The fan is designed to continue to run for 65 seconds after the flow of water stops. This is to ensure constant water temperature during frequent short water draws (such as washing dishes) as well as exhausting residual heat and flue gases from the water heater and venting system.

IGI-180C, IGI-180R specifications

Bradford-White Corporation is a well-known name in the water heating industry, offering a range of reliable and efficient products. Among its noteworthy offerings are the IGI-180R and IGI-180C indirect water heaters. These models exemplify the company's commitment to quality and innovation, featuring robust designs and cutting-edge technologies.

The IGI-180R and IGI-180C units are designed to provide a consistent supply of hot water for residential and commercial applications. Both models have a storage capacity of 180 gallons, making them ideal for settings that require large volumes of hot water, such as restaurants, schools, and larger households. Their large tanks ensure minimal wait times and a reliable hot water supply, even during peak usage periods.

One of the key features of the IGI series is their indirect heating capability. Instead of relying on electric elements or gas burners, these heaters use a separate boiler or heating system to provide the necessary heat. This allows for more efficient operation, as the water is heated more evenly and effectively. The models integrate seamlessly with existing boiler systems, making them an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade or expand their hot water capabilities without extensive modifications.

Both the IGI-180R and IGI-180C incorporate advanced insulation technology, minimizing heat loss and improving energy efficiency. The high-density foam insulation encases the tank, keeping the water hot for longer periods and reducing energy costs associated with reheating. This insulation also contributes to a longer lifespan for the unit, as it reduces the wear and tear on the heating systems.

Another pivotal characteristic of these units is their durable construction. Bradford-White utilizes high-quality materials and rigorous manufacturing standards, ensuring that the IGI models withstand the test of time. The tanks are constructed from heavy-duty steel with a glass lining that protects against corrosion and sediment buildup, enhancing the longevity and performance of the water heater.

Lastly, both models come equipped with a range of safety features, including an integrated Pressure Relief Valve and a temperature control system. These elements safeguard against overheating and pressure issues, ensuring safe operation.

In conclusion, the IGI-180R and IGI-180C indirect water heaters by Bradford-White Corporation stand out for their efficient, reliable, and durable design. With advanced heating technology, excellent insulation, and robust safety features, they are a smart investment for any hot water demand scenario.
