Atwood on demand water heater
I have the Atwood On Demand Water heater in my 285GLSR. It's never worked properly, I've run 100's of gallons through that thing adjusting the modular valve on the side and I haven't been able to take a decent shower yet. Super frustrating.
I'm finally getting it into the shop next week for the recall fix, as I found out my unit is affected by it. Has anyone else out there had the recall done on it yet? You can tell it's been done if there's a scalding warning sticker on the metal plat located just above the modulating valve. I'm not sure this will fix my hot water problem, but I'm going to start with that.
It could be that there's something restricting water pressure to it, as it not supposed to heat the incoming water if it's getting less than 1 GPM. As it sits right now, there's no consistency with the hot water, it's either full on, or off. You can't feather in cold to bring the temp down to a reasonable temp, it just shuts off the heater once you introduce cold water. And adjusting the modulating valve doesn't do the trick either.
I'm curious is others are having the same issue with their new Sandstorms and if anyone's done the recall yet? I believe this heater unit is standard on the new ones. Thanks.
