Resetting Rheem 20 Gas Continuous Flow Hot Water Unit

The Rheem 20 is a popular continuous flow system, capable of producing over 20 litres of piping hot water per minute.

It is a suitable option for small to medium-sized apartments and homes looking for the right hot water system for their smaller living space.

Rheem 20L gas systems possess a 6-star energy rating and consume 153 megajoules of energy per hour, which is reasonable and efficient for a gas hot water system.

Rheem Q factor ensures rapid hot water delivery, and continuous flow units like this one are available in two versions: a 50°C system and a 60°C model, which reduces heat loss if the unit placement is a fair distance from the bathroom and kitchen plumbing.

Regarding the chosen gas heating method, users have the choice between an LPG tank or a natural gas connection for their new hot water system. Unlike many gas storage systems, the hot water unit itself is compact, making it ideal for homes with limited space.

Making The Switch From Electric Hot Water Systems

If you’re making the switch from an electric hot water system, you’ll find there’s a lot to like about these gas hot water systems. But what happens when you have a problem? For those worst-case scenarios, you can take advantage of the accompanying 10-year heat exchanger warranty on Rheem gas hot water systems.

But for everyday troubleshooting, try resetting the Rheem 20 by turning it off and on again at the nearby power outlet.

Rheem 20 hot water systems have straightforward troubleshooting. Every step you can take without a plumber involves checking that the hot water outlets and gas supply lines are open and resetting the hot water system if required.

So if you are the owner of a Rheem 20 continuous flow hot water unit, save yourself some time and the cost of a plumber by turning your system off and on again. If this doesn’t get the unit up and heating water in no time, call Plumber Near Me and we can provide same-day hot water repair.

Troubleshooting Rheem 20 Gas Hot Water Systems

The Rheem 20 installation guide provides a range of time-saving troubleshooting tips to save you a service call. In case you didn’t hold on to the instruction manual, here are the potential solutions to having no hot water:

  • If you have a controller panel, make sure it’s switched on and set to the desired temperature.
  • Make sure the continuous flow system is plugged into the power and switched on. Power is required to manage the electric pilot light.
  • Make sure the gas valve is fully open. The pilot light will not achieve a consistent flame if it’s not fully open.
  • Make sure the hot water valve is fully open. A partially closed valve/tap may not send enough hot water to your faucets and showerhead.
  • Try closing the hot tap, waiting ten seconds and opening it again.
  • Try resetting the Rheem 20 by turning the system off and on again at the power outlet.

If these troubleshooting tips have failed to correct the issue, test other electric and gas appliances to see if the problem is isolated or being experienced across the home. And if this still has not fixed the problem, it’s time to contact a professional plumber for Rheem 20 repairs.
