So several years ago while building mi casa in San Felipe, I considered getting a tankless water heater, but thought, to much money and to many
technical issues, if it doesn't work.
And one day, while purchasing cabinets for my casa, at a Phoenix builders consignment store, I am checking out and see a brand new Rinnai water
heater. I ask if it is NG or LP and she responds, LP.
So I ask, how much?
$250!!!
I'll take it!!
So now I start worrying, how is this going to work? Does it work as good as advertised?
So I get it down to the casa, spend about an hour hooking it up and low and behold, it worked and worked great.
So for several years it has been a great asset.
About November, it started acting up. It would come on, and then quit and give me a code 12 error.
I tried everything, but no go.
So I decide to purchase 2 new Heat Pump Energy Star water heaters for my house in Phoenix so I can get some Obama buck's rebated.
I take one of my extra water heaters down to SF and install an electric model.
I take the Rinnai back to Phoenix and was going to try and sell it cheap or cash in the copper for some cash.
As a last ditch effort I called Rinnai and of course, not being installed they have no way to get it repaired. They suggest I call around Phx to
their authorized plumbers.
The last guy I call has a setup to work on them at his office. Come to find our he has a contract with the Army and they use them at remote locations
and when they crap out the send them to this plummer and he repairs them.
I take the unit to him on Friday.
He calls me today to let me know it was ready to go.
"What was wrong?" I ask,"nothing" he replies.
He tested it for over an hour and came to the conclusion it was probably bad LP.
After I thought about it I realized it started acting up the day I put new LP in the tank.
Anyone else every have bad LP?
If so, how did you deal with it?

From everything I have read, there is nothing about bad LP.
I just refilled the tank and will try to hook it up again to see if it works.
But, I have had bad LP's and bough CD's to replace themCortezBlue - 4-20-2011 at 07:48 AM
