Do you have instructions for flushing or descaling the Paloma PTG-74PVN water heater?

I need to descale my home installed Paloma water heater for the first time.

SOURCE: Paloma PTG 74PVN Tankless Water Heater

did you check the filters on the the water valves, i am not exactly sure about your codes that are shoeing but if you could read it and post them, i know on some of the units 76 means there is low water pressure and the filters are behind 2 caps one on each side above the shut off valve take off the caps and remove the screens, clean them and replace them ,, make sure you turn off the water on both side first or you will get wet

SOURCE: PALOMA PTG-74PVN-1 Code C8 12 my water heater

C8 is the last stop in the point of burner ignition and a total of eight error codes. Error code 12 is a supplemental code that means your LP gas supply is too low...have your LP tank service and try again.

Thermostat flashes IL ? Model PTG-53PVN

The Controller displays error code "1L."
There is a build-up of lime in your Paloma.
Contact your plumber to service the Paloma by flushing out the lime.
Also search u-tube for flushing lime out of tankless.

Water heater starts, then shuts down, then starts again, shuts down, etc.

have you tried cleaning out the inline water filter?
sometimes a good flushing will also do the trick. might have some scale buildup inside.

do you have the instruction manual? this will tell you exactly how to do it. if not, I might have one I can copy and send you.

I have a paloma ptg-74pvn and the digital temp. display keeps shu

How reliable is your AC? With the digital r/c connected, every time the heater recovers from power outage it's in the OFF default state. If you can not fix the power issue, disconnect the remote control. The w/h will recover in the ON state.

I have a paloma tankless water heater about 3 years old model PTG-74PVN and it works for 2 minutes and shuts off with error code C4 and 13 flashing. (City water pressure is fine)Can anyone help? Thanks...

I had the same problem with my Paloma a year and a half after installation...contacted Rheem customer service (800-432-8373) and they recommened a local installer in my area. The technican diagnosed the problem as the "flow control valve"; he managed to get Rheem/Paloma to cover the part under warranty...I only had to shell out the money for the install.
