Water Temperature Too Hot

Temperature dial

Turn the temperature knob located on the bottom of the water heater

set too high

counterclockwise for cooler temperatures.

 

 

There are

Obstructions in the water path can restrict the flow of water through the heater

causing overheating. Verify the heater’s inlet filter screen, faucet aerators,

plumbing

showerheads and whole house filters are clear of debris. Verify proper flow on the

 

outlet side of the heater with the hot water pipe disconnected. Opening hot water

 

isolation valve fully may be necessary. Maximum flow rates for each unit are as

 

follows. AE115 - 2.3gpm, AE125 - 3.5gpm.

 

 

Inlet water

Verify the heater is being feed with cold water only. This water heater is not

designed for preheated water or recirculation applications. Increase flow rate

where ever possible. Replacing low flow showerheads and aerators with higher

 

flowing (GPM) ones may be necessary.

 

 

 

Water Temperature Fluctuates

Cold mix, heater

If inlet water temperature is over 70°F, water may be very hot out of the tap. This

deactivates

requires a lot of cold water to be added in order to get a usable hot water

 

temperature. The addition of too much cold water will overpower hot water

 

demand from the water heater. This slows the flow within the water heater,

 

decreasing it below the activation point, which shuts off the heater. The end result

 

is nothing but cold water coming out of the outlet. Increase the flow rate by

 

cleaning or replacing fixtures and lower the setting on the temperature adjustment

 

knob. See service bulletin TWH-E2-04 at www.boschhotwater.com for further

 

troubleshooting on this symptom.

 

 

Fluctuating water

If the water pressure in the home is erratic and the water flow is not consistent

pressure

while a tap is opened, then the temperature of hot water will fluctuate. The

 

minimum water pressure for the home should be 30psi or greater. For people on

 

well systems the minimum pressure range is 30-50psi. The use of a pressure

 

reducing/regulating valve is an effective way to maintain constant water pressure

 

to the water heater. Watts brand 25AUB- ¾” or N35B-¾” pressure

 

reducing/regulating valves or equivalent is suggested.

 

 

Changing flow rate

Major changes in flow rate can adversely affect the output water temperature of

 

the heater. Increases from one major fixture running to multiple fixtures running at

 

one time can cause the temperature to fluctuate. Stay within the heater’s

 

specifications. See Graph 1 on page 8.
