I’ve had issues with my Rinnai water heater for the past month. The water was taking a while to heat up and I knew it was time to descale the unit. I got a plumbing company to come and they said the same thing but quoted me $700 to descale/flush and change the check valve. I decided to descale and flush myself since I’m pregnant, I’m hoping to save some money for baby related items. Afterwards the water got warm quicker but it never gets hot unless I turn on the bathroom sink and the shower at the same time. It’s not isolated to just the bathroom, the kitchen faucet doesn’t get hot either. I’ve heard it could be a pressure/flow issue but I didn’t have this issue before I descaled it. I don’t know how the water pressure changed from a descale? I’m still asking the plumber to come and change the check valve since I have no idea how to do that. I’ve lived at this house for 2 years and the unit is 4-5 years old. The plumbing company is backed up and won’t be able to come again until next week. I’ve called to follow up twice on when someone can come. Would love to have a hot shower soon.
