Amazing that it didn't really cause some major damage and kudos for the safety features!<br /><br /> You guys might want to think about some sort of automatic sprinkler system (or just one or two heads) near your new heater. All you need is a source of water pressure and the fire heads.<br /><br /> As far as flooding goes, there are cheap little battery operated devices (called 'leak frogs') that send out a shrill squeal when moisture wets their 'feet'. Cost about US $7.00 or so. - I got mine off of 'woot.com' and they've saved my undersink shelving on TWO occasions when the sinks overflowed...<br /><br /> Anyway, the new on-demand heater is looking pretty classy!<br /><br /> Your guest house is looking great, as is the pool!Larrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-5088025360909173392010-07-28T02:42:11.254-06:002010-07-28T02:42:11.254-06:00Hi Isaias,
Well, that's a good question. I re...Hi Isaias,<br /><br />Well, that's a good question. I really don't know. I suspect it was a defect in the metal surrounding the heat exchanger and probably happened over time. Canadian Bob had something similar happen a couple of years ago that started as a pin-sized hole in his and grew over time to look similar to this one. I think it's also called a 'dry combustion' in the manual (the one I can read). Kinda scary, but, the safety features did work. The gas and water were cut off as soon as it sensed something majorly wrong and so, prevented the house burning up or flooding the downstairs.<br />I don't know if this is common or not. It's something I'll check for in the future. To check, it does require removing the heater cover and giving it the once-over. Another part of the routine I guess.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DaveDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-24898272890745914552010-07-27T22:17:53.736-06:002010-07-27T22:17:53.736-06:00B-b-but wot happen?
