Low Hot Water Pressure - Suburban SW6DEA


Hi All,

After some advice from my learned fellow Nomads.

I have a Suburban Hot Water (Gas/240v) in my 2008 Supreme Spirit.

The problem is I have low pressure when using the hot water, cold water pressure is fine. This happens on pump and mains pressure. Not sure if it is relevant but, the problem only started after I changed the anode and flushed the hot water tank prior to fitting new anode.

Any ideas please.

Thank you in advance. 

Regards

Hurls

Sounds like you got some dirt in the tempering valve. - clean it or get someone to service it
Maybe break the hot water line before the tempering valve and check the flow and also after the valve and check the flow.
If flow is ok , check the filters Dirt in the taps

Always flush and clean my water heater tank out after each trip amazing just how much white calcium in there. Recently shower, hand basin had very low pressure I removed the tempering valve pulled it apart and cleaned and reinstalled. Problem solved,

Thank you for the quick replies. Will be away for a couple of weeks (without the van) and look forward to trying your ideas on my return. Will let you know the outcome.

Thanks again.

Cheers

Thanks to the advice from Laurieoz and JBDUBBO my low water pressure problem is fixed. Relatively easy even with my non mechanical mind and arthritic body. The hot water inlet filter was almost completely blocked.

Thank you again.

 

Cheers Hurls
