HOW IT WORKS

While natural gas heating is more convenient than electrical heating, you may still run into problems using it. The best way to get around these problems is to know how it works.

Above, you see a typical setup. You ‘turn on’ the natural gas using the lever marked C. Clockwise is off. Anticlockwise is on. When you turn on the hot water tap (not shown here), cold water from the pipes flows past the cold water valve (A) up into that white color container. In there, if the natural gas is ‘turned on,’ a spark will light it up to heat up the water.
The hot water will flow down through the hot water valve (B) and get to you.

Knob D dictates the amount of natural gas used; of course you can also tweak the lever C for similar effect. Knob E dictates the amount of water running through; of course you can also tweak level A for similar effect.

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

If you’re not getting the hot water you want, or if the hot water is much hotter than you need it to be, here are some things to think about:

1. Did you turn on the gas lever (C)?

2. What about the water supply? A is the water supply. To ‘turn on’ the water supply to the max, turning the kno b anticlockwise is the norm. B is the water meter which is not relevant in this topic.

3. Is the battery still in working condition? Below you see the battery compartment:

Then you need to find a way to open it so that you can put in a replacement battery:

4. If you’re still facing a problem, one thing to consider is that water takes time to flow through the pipes. That is, while water may have already been heated, it takes some time for it to get to you.
