Yeh I know, silly question but cos I'm an old chief It sometimes takes longer to work out but cos you are cleverer than this old chief why should I find out the hard way. Besides, someone else might benefit from the answer. Also I am still learning about this new heater of mine.
After I have de pressured, emptied, changed the Anode over etc or just checked the Anode. Does the water tank fill again as soon as I turn the WATER pump on if camping without mains water and power? Once that has been done I can then flick the heater switch on for hot water?

Dougwe Just turn a hot tap on and bleed the system with the pump running or connected to mains water then switch it on to power or if free camping activate the gas function. When the water runs without air spitting then it is good to go. I always bleed mine upon arrival at a new camp after every move regardless of being on 240 or gas

Doug I just turn on the pump/town water and pull the blend lever on the tank that lets out 99 % of the air . I have notied some tanks have the hot and cold water halfway down the tank will hold a lot of air .

Gday Doug
as previously mentioned it is very important to get the air out of the tank which is easily done by turning your hot water tap over the sink on when filling the heater, if connected to 240 power make sure the hot water tank is full before turning power on or it could become very expensive most hot water heaters have a power on off switch built into the heater.
good luck

I thought of that already Dibs. Thanks for the tip though. Any tips about travelling the way we do, in general, are always welcome.
How, all.
