I have a bosch aquastar aq 125fx probably 9 to 10 years old it heats fine but after about year 2 it stopped working when you fire it up shortly or immediately after firing it up before. in other words it works fine if you run it once continually but if you shut it off you usually have to wait 1 to 2 minutes to fire it again. When you turn it on the second time you can hear the piezo electric spark ticking but no ignition. wait for anothe r1 to 2 min. and away it goes. any ideas how to make it fire every time? it is pilotless and always works the same way.

You either have a weak spark from your ignitor which needs replacing, a bad elec connection to the ignitor, or it needs to be repositioned nearer the burner. Check connections and try repositioning it before you install a new on.

SOURCE: Pilot light goes out randomly on 6 year old Bosch

The pilot light can be blown out just by the main gas being ignited especially if the pilot flame is a little weak. Some times a bit of grit gets into the pilot nozzle reducing the flow and hence a weak flame. Try cleaning the piolt jet nozzle with a fine piece of wire. You may have to dismantle the jet nozzle to clean it properly.

There is likely an onboard relay stuck in the open position.

This is a gas appliance and should be serviced by an authorized BOSCH repair center to avoid potential catastrophe.

Probably excessive winds caused a draft to enter your boiler via the flue and blew your pilot out - not unknown - if the unit is now working okay - don't worry. As you seem to be servicing the unit you will probably get a good many years out of it yet.

Had the unit for seven years, it started to leak water around the water valve. Bosch aqua Star 125x ng

You have to fix this leak around the water valve before
it causes damage to your equipment.
1. Close the water supply valve going to your tankless
water heater.
2. Unplug or close the natural gas valve.
3. Now, you can work fixing the leak.
4. Once completed, you can proceed to open the
natural gas valve as well as the water supply valve.
5. Then, have it tested to get it done.
