Water Heaters - Rheem - 40 Gallon FVR NATGAS Low WATER HEATER 6YR 22V40SF
Even a small leak will waste a surprising quantity of hot water and gas. ... There will be a 2 sec interval between each group of flashes. ... Check the isolating gas **** on the gas supply line is turned "on"
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE RUNNING
Normal Operation It is normal and desirable this valve allows a small quantity of water to escape during the heating cycle. However, if it discharges more than a bucket full of water in 24 hours, there may be another problem.
Continuous dribble Try gently raising the easing lever on the relief valve for a few seconds. This may dislodge a small particle of foreign matter and clear the fault. Release the lever gently.
Steady flows for long period (often at night) This may indicate the mains water pressure sometimes rises above the designed pressure of the heater. Ask your installing plumber to fit a pressure limiting valve. NEVER replace the relief valve with one of a higher pressure rating.
Heavy flows of hot water until water heater is cold - then stops until water reheats The gas control must be turned off using the knob on top of the gas control thermostat. Phone your nearest Rheem Australia office or accredited service agent to arrange for inspection.
