Hello, I have a used Explorer Magnum which has just come into my possession and I'm having trouble figuring out the hot water.
I've hooked up the Aquaroll and the pump. The cold taps are working. When I turn on the hot tap, it sputters for a couple of minutes until eventually a steady stream of cold water comes out. My understanding is that the hot water tank is filling up during this period and once water flows from the hot tap it means the tank is full. At this point I turn off the taps and turn on the gas water heater. The control knob has a green LED and I can hear the sound of the flame lighting. I wait a while (30 minutes, an hour). I expect when I turn on the tap, hot water should come out? But what happens is another two minutes of sputtering and then cold water.
My best guess is that the water tank is filling up but not staying full. I've checked that yellow the drain valve is closed (flat, not sticking up). Any ideas how I can figure out what's going on and fix it? Thank you
