TROUBLESHOOTING and SERVICE HANDBOOK

RELIANCE Water Heater Company Technical Training Department

Residential Gas – continued

Condensation is a mild acid – it will corrode steel

Condensation is usually noted when:

water dripping is heard (only) while the main burner is on,

there is “water” around the heater just after the heater has been operating,

there are small, black or red granules on the main burner or top of the heater or

corroded jacket or vent piping is noted.

If … … then

any of the above conditions exist raise the supply air temperature or

increase stored water temperature or

increase the size of the tank

You would not wish to lower combustion

efficiency – this would waste gas. Use

materials (stainless steel, PVC etc.) that

will not be affected by the condensation

Suggested Multiple Heater Water Piping Required For

Proper Operation of Top Connect Models

Install in accordance with local codes.
