How to stop my water heater from running

SOURCE: bosch 25e water heater wont ignite

combi or standard if combi pressure too high and will be blowing off your high pressure release valve which would stop your boiler from igniting best of luck

SOURCE: Hot water heater flow problems.

hey Bookie, those plastic inserts are kinda moulded into the nipples, so taking them out might be more than a feat,...did you solder the pipe to the female adapter ON the nipple? if you did you melted the plastic and that is what's your restricting your flo,......or (believe it or not) the inlet water valve isn't turned on all the way,.....close it then open it,..could have somethin stuck in it. let me know eh? thanks and good luck, cracklin joe

First check that any by-pass valves are in proper position. Remember, cold water has to enter in bottom fitting at back of tank, and hot water comes out at top fitting. Thus any valves that may be there, need to be in open position, and any valve between those 2 lines will need to be closed. If all valves are in proper position and working as they should, I would suspect you have a faulty check valve between top (hot) line fitting and tank. One easy way to check that before replacing it, would be to shut incoming water source off, whether running off pump or hose attached outside. Then relieve all pressure in system by opening taps until all pressure is gone. Now, go outside and open pressure relief valve carefully ( in case it's hot ) and make sure pressure is relieved there as well. Now, carefully hold pressure relief valve open while you have someone turn water back on, and see if you get good flow from pressure relief valve. If you get good pressure coming out of there, that tells you your tank is getting full, and you have water coming in as needed, so problem has to be on hot side ( top fitting ) and/or onward from there, which would be check valve fitting at top next to check. Remove the check valve and If you don't have a new check valve to try it, just put a short galvanized 1/2" pipe nipple in there for now if needed and that should do it, just attach your fitting directly to nipple. Before you do this, make sure you have removed all aerators etc on taps that may be plugged and tested pressure that way as well just in case. I have seen all of them plug up at same time before. If you remove them and get good pressure, then problem solved.
