We are a service center for these type of heaters. The most common problem causing surging is the air pump and or the rubber hoses. If the pressure gauge holds steady then it is most likely one or both of the hoses. New from the box we get heaters with the hoses bent and sometimes even rotten. In an emergency you can turn the carbon vanes 180 degrees and put the pump back in service.

Titan Troubleshooting

Check for small fuse on circuit board:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html
Water heater circuit boards are NOT protected from surge. And reset button does not protect from surge. Nearby lightning can put out any household appliance, especially since more of these things are electronic instead of mechanical.
Install single-use whole house surge protector and replace it after each surge event instead of replacing appliances.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-Whole-house-surge-protector.html
The quickest solution for tankless is to replace whole thing with more reliable tank-type electric heater for $275 from local box store.

Carrier Weathermaker 8000 Furnace Flame Surges on start up

The fuel is controlled by the gas valve, the amount of gas is controlled by the regulator, I would verify that the inlet gas pressure is within the limits of the gas valve/regulator. The surging is likely the fault of the regulator and could be as simple as a spec of something in the orifice that allows gas pressure on the top of the gas regulator diaphragm. With the surge there must be an accompanied change in gas pressure at the gas valve outlet to the burners, use a "U" bend manometer to verify as they are the most simple and accurate and react instantly with no "averaging" software to wonder about.

Tread mill wont turn on. it was on then while in use the screen flashed on and off then treadmill shut down and has not turned back on. tried reset button then unpluging for a while but still does not turn...

Dear Sir:
Thank you by your problem, I will help you inmediately.

Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor
is plugged into a properly grounded outlet . Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor
that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor
must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation
of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

2)After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console.

3)Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill
near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as
shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the
circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then press
the switch back in.

4)Check the on/off switch located on the treadmill
near the power cord. The switch must be in the on
position.

I hope you resolve this. Otherwise, try to reach me. Inmediately.

sincerely.

Flame not staying lit

This is a common problem with grills purchased after 2001. There is a new safety feature inside the regulator called a 'surge protector'. If you open your propane bottle valve too quickly or if you try attaching a tank with the tank valve in the 'open' position, the propane wants to 'surge' into the grill.

When the propane surges into the regulator (located on the grill hose) the 'surge protector' (inside the regulator) kicks on. When this happens you will not be able to get your grill lit, and if you do, it will be a small blue flame and the grill will not heat up.

So what to do if you trip the surge protector and can't get your grill to light or heat up?

Shut the tank off and shut the valves on the grill off. Disconnect the tank from the grill hose. When you disconnect the tank from the hose you will hear the excess pressure of propane release. This is an indication that you have re-set the regulator's surge protector.

Now that you have deactivated or reset the surge protector, reconnect the tank. Make sure the valve on the tank and the valves on the grill are in the closed and in the off position. After you reconnect the tank to the hose, SLOWLY open the tank valve (making sure the valves on the grill are in the OFF position).

Since you have slowly opened the valve on the tank, the propane did not surge into the regulator and the surge protector did not activate.

Now open 1 valve on the grill and light it. You should get a nice flame. If your grill has more than one valve, open each following valve in sequential order to extend the flames to the other burners.

Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.
