    Hi, water built up and it over flowed. I hit the inside pip. Water went down but it continues to overflow.

    Does the water heater switch need to be on to flush the heat exchanger or can you leave the switch off while flushing the heat exchanger with vinegar?

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was a very detailed, clear, and easy to follow video. I just serviced my water heater (Navien 240N), and everything worked out perfectly. The only comment I would make is to hold the pump in the bucket when draining. Otherwise, you will have a mess of vinegar on your floor. Thank you again for this very helpful video.

    Hey Charley, thanks for the video! My pit is sealed with a plastic top due to radon, so I don't want to take it apart if I don't have to. The sump pump was installed in a dirt pit which doesn't typically have water in it. A few months ago water was swishing around in it like a washing machine. That turned out to be from a frozen pipe outside. That got addressed. But now we just had a recent thaw, the pit is full of water, the pump is running, but it's not moving any water. Do you think it's likely that after that washing machine-like fluid flow from a few months ago dragged a bunch of the dirt up into the impeller & onto the underside of the pump, caking it on there? I really want to fix this without having to crack into that plastic radon protector. I'm not even sure how to get it off.

    Not sure what you mean by "mess with gas." Every homeowner should understand how to properly shut off the gas supply to their appliances. It is also helpful to exercise ball valves periodically. All of the steps in the video above are laid out in the Manufacturer's User's Information manual--there's no "messing" with anything.

    The other videos i've seen (i have a NPE-240S) said that I need to turn the internal recirculation pump from "out" to "in" or the other way around, (can't remember) before starting the flush. Is this true because it doesn't look like you adjusted the settings on the recirculation pump prior to flushing. Anyone know about this, and if the pump settings need to be changed prior to flushing?

    I like the tip about partially removing the screw on the top of the tank so that you can easily remove the air filter. Why did Navien ignore this issue? I like your video. It is very informative and detailed and the audio and video are great. As I watched your scale removal procedure I shook my head knowing that I could have done my yearly maintenance on a tank water heater in 5 minutes. I have owned tankless water heaters for 15 years and every time that there is an event that causes the electricity to be shut off (earthquake or power failure) I curse the day that I got a tankless.

    Also, I have a shed/office built on a concrete slab with osb sheeting. I will be installing shiplap cladding. Do you have any recommendations on how to flash the door opening?

  • @innovagreenbuilders8141
    @innovagreenbuilders81414 жыл бұрын

    If you're using OSB sheathing then you'll likely be using a sheet weather resistive barrier (WRB) like Tyvek. In that case the detail is similar where either the Tyvek or flashing tape should completely cover the rough opening. The only difference should be at the sill. The flashing tape won't stick to the slab so I would flash the sill with a liquid flashing. Zip makes one that I can but at a local supply house or you could order something like Prosoco R Guard from Amazon.

    Thank you for a good step by step video. A couple of items I noticed you missed... 1st, as mentioned in other comments, turn on the gas valve when you are done, but that is the very last thing you do. 2nd, when you flush the heat exchangers, you have to have the unit ON! If you don't have power to the unit you'll only flush the valves and the lower part of the unit. The power opens servos that allow the vinegar to get up to the heat exchangers. The unit may try and start and throw codes about not having flame, but that's ok. 3rdly, after you flush the vinegar out, turn the unit off for 30 min, so the system can reset.

    Out of the two hoses, one of them must be a male to male connector. Also, be weary of a rogue hose flailing around. It's best to have one more secured down during the 45 min flush. Having a towel nearby is also a good idea!

    I have the Navien NPE-210A (A=Advanced) set for internal re-circulation The advanced models have an built in re-circulation pump, i thinks a great feature - no reason to pay for an advanced model and not use it - just my honest opinion. Each year its recommended to clean the following: 1: Air intake filter 2: Water inlet filter - the one at the angle he removed 3: Condensation trap aka "dirt trap" yes it needs to be cleaned - its not on the unit for decoration 4: Re-circulation pump water inlet filter - right next to the condo trap 5: De-scale the unit - I use vinegar *3 filters + condo trap aka dirt trap *Descale the unit Monitor the O-rings - my condo trap o-ring needed to be replaced after approx 5 years. I hope this information was helpful. Kevin
