[A/S] Hot and cold water in the shower with the pump cycle
Thanks to Jerry F., J L Dietz, Jim G., Don S., and Arnie for
responding to my shower water temperature situation.
I first went to the by pass valve next to the heater and found it
was turned off tightly as Don and Arnie suggested that it might be
slightly open. Went to the other faucets and found the same condition
as the shower but far less of a degree.
I called the factory and talked to a nice fellow Jim, in the
technical service group. He suggested the following that clear up the
problem. There is a screw on the pump end of the pump that he said I
should turn clockwise while the shower water is running and the pump
is on. And I should keep turning the screw slowly on till the pump
runs constantly, when the shower is calling for water. Now when I
turn on the shower the pump comes on the water gets adjusted to the
right temperature while the punp is running and it does not shut off
until the shower water is turned off. He said the screw adjustment
was setting the pump to the flow rate of the shower, that has the
lowest in the system.
He also said to be sure that the by pass valve was not open slightly
or even something might be in the valve set keeping it slightly open.
Thanks again for the help.
