Plumber Notes: Customer currently has an AO SMITH 100 gallon 150,000 btu water heater that is giving error codes and customer would like it replaced. We could replace it with the same make and model but have found that this brand has been very unreliable and would recommend replacing with a different brand that has not given the problems the AO SMITH has After looking at what we have there at the location and consulting with our Rinnai engineer, we have determined it will take two cu 199 natural gas commercial on demand water heaters. we will also have to increase the size of the circulating pump to approximately 10 to 14 gallons per minute and capable of a at least 25 foot head. we will also have to reconfigure the gas line to except two heaters instead of one. both these water heaters have a eight year limited warranty on the heat exchanger, five year warranty on parts, one year on labor. also by having two water heaters, if one goes down, you will never be without hot water. We would turn the water off to the old heater and start draining it. As were draining it we will disconnect the vent and air lines to the heater as well as the gas and electrical to power the heater. The gas lines appear to be in good condition but if they need to be changed we will replace with new connections. Water lines are currently ran in copper. We will have to cut out the old water lines to be able to get the old heater out. To connect the new heater we will utilize pro press technology to connect new copper lines to new heater. We will connect vent to new heater and fill tank up before firing the tank up. Once we fire the heater up we will need to bleed the system to be able to make sure no air gaps are in the system. We will then check for leaks on the heater and everything should be working properly at this time.
