I've got a Bosch gwh 715 ES... 8 years old - in a property I'm renovating. According to specs.... she should fire up when flow rate hits >.5gpm. Not happening!! I open up a fixture with a flow rate of 1gpm (confirmed)... nothing.... I open up an additional fixture of "probably about the same" - and I've got hot water all day long as long as two fixtures are creating a demand..... (want a hot shower - turn on the hot water in the bathroom sink also)….
I've cleaned the filter - lowered the temp, raised the temp, etc.... and it still does the same thing.....
Is this thing repairable? I'll admit - I'm not a plumber - I can plumb a whole house by code - easily enough - but dealing with this has me flummoxed.... I'd hate to call out a plumber who would have to "go through the installation manual" to figure out what I've already figured out. I understand Bosch quit selling tankless in the US a number of years ago (2004?)…. so "experts" might be a bit difficult to find.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.... before I go out and spend another $1000+ on a new Rheems….
Thanks,
Z
