TROUBLESHOOTING

| INDICATION OF MALFUNCTION| CAUSE OR DIAGNOSIS| POSSIBLE REMEDIES| FURTHER ATTENTION|
---|---|---|---|---|---
1| The water does not get hot enough, but
there is variation in temperature.| The pre—set temperature is too Iow.Verify with the face plate off, to test the cartridge, by rotating the stem counter clockwise all the way for the hottest setting.| Remove the cartridge setting kit and re—set the valve according to the instructions.| Don’t automatically change the cartridge.| cartridge setting
was checked installation
2| The water does not get cold enough, but
there is variation in temperature.| The pre—set temperature could be too high. With standard setting, absolute cold is not possible.| Remove the cartridge setting kit and re—set the valve according to the instructions.| Don’t automatically change the cartridge.| If you lower the setting to get colder water, you could get less hot
water.
3| On the cold setting, there is hot water,
and on the hot setting, there is
cold water. There is no mix of hot and
cold at all.| Th e lines could be reversed The Number must make this decision| The valve is port specific. The hot supply must be on the left and cold on the right as you face the valve. Have the plumber verify by feeling the pipes, or removing the cartridge, that the water lines are reversed before switching the lines.| Switching the pipes con be expensive.
The diagnosis must be done at the
home.|
4| The water temperature does not change when the handle is moved.| The cartridge stem is not contacting the
handle assembly.| 2 possible things might have happened:
1.The brass odaptor C7919 may be damaged.
2.The cartridge might be faulty.| Don’t automatically change the cartridge.|
5| After a period of time, the water gets cold. It starts out hot. but then
goes cold.| You might be running out of hot water. Ask how long, in minutes, this takes to happen.| Thermostatic valves con run of 16 gallons per minute. Find out the water heater capacity and divide by lenght of the shower in minutes for a function I.e. 50 gallons capacity divided by u.5205 flow of 8 g pm= approx 6 minutes hot water| Don’t automaticall y change the cartridge.|
I co| The flow gradually decreases.| There could be debris in
the line.| Clean the filters and flush the lines according to the
istructions.| Don’t automatically change the cartridge.|
7| The flow stops.| The built in safety feature is stopping flow
immediately if there is o decrease in temperature.| 1. The valve could be operating property.
2. There could be complete blockage in one of the supply
lines.| Don’t automatically change the cartridge.|
8| There is no flow on start—up.| 1. There could be complete blockage in one
of the supply lines.
2.   The non—return   lines may not be opening.| 1.Clean the filters and flush the lines according to the
instructions.
2. Check the non—return   lines ore installed correctly.| automatically Don’t automachange the cartridge.|
9| Noise in the valve| 1. Debris is causing noise 2. Check the one way valves| 1. Flush the system
2. Change the one way valve| The valve cannot make noise by
itself. Changing the cartridge is the last option|
10| Inconsistent or low temperoture delivery| 1.On demand water heater cannot keep up with the demand of the valve.
2.The pressure difference from the water supply is more than 15 p.s.i.
3.If o well system, the pressure could be fluctuating.| Consult your plumber.
A professional needs to diagnose
the problem.| |
