    Cold water mixing with hot water - Navien tankless water heater, NPE210A

    I have a Navien tankless water heater – NPE210A. Two weeks ago, the hot water started turning colder after one of two minutes in the shower. Navien’s support had me troubleshoot the issue as follows: 1. Turn the unit off. 2. Close the isolation valves to the cold-supply and...

    Controling Navien NPE internal recirculation pump

    Hopefully, my experience will help someone. I just installed Navien's HotButton with a "12V 15A Momentary contact switch - RM11," which I picked up from eBay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/350575987090?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649. Easy installation all around and...

    GPM for dedicated recirculation line.

    Good day everyone. I read somewhere that the GPM on a dedicated 3/4" return line should not exceed 1 GPM. Is there any validity to that statement? My return line is at 4.7 GPM. The total length of the line is +- 120 linear feet, connected to NPE210A. 80% of it is a straight shot along the...

    Milky white water after regeneration

    Thank you all for your time and comments. I will post a pic if the valve settings later It is the Econominder valve. The unit performs flawlessly otherwise.

    Milky white water after regeneration

    Sorry about the wrong forum. Thanks for the feedback. I am installing a new brine tank, as the old one was split with about 6" of "rock salt" at the bottom. The well structure was also crushed at the bottom. I will reevaluate after the new tank is in.

    Milky white water after regeneration

    After some further searching, it appears that it is air that is causing the initial milky film. In fact, looking at the glass carefully confirms that air bubbles are coming up to the surface, then clearing. How is the air getting in the system after a WS regeneration? Is it normal? Or...

    Navien NPE240A with Recirc Pump New Home Build questions

    I have the 210A with a dedicated return line that I just installed. The dedicated return line made a significant improvement. I have the recirc pump on a timer, using Navien's remote control. I am very satisfied with the unit and Navien. My WH is in the garbage, as I prefer mechanical units...

    For what it is wort, I have a Navien NPE series tankless, with a dedicated recirculation line. It works flawlessly. The unit has its own recirculation pump and a small buffer tank.

    Navien Intelligent Preheating Setting

    I just finished running a dedicated return line to the WH, as I was getting tired of hot water in the cold line. Navien also told me that Navicerc restricts water flow. I am in San Diego County, where the chances of below freezing temperatures are minimum. I ran 3/4" CPVC on the outside wall...

    Switch 1 should also be off. So, switch 2 ON, P17 ON.

    Hot water in cold line

    As you indicated, that is the nature of the beast. In retrospect, I was confused by a similar post with the same problem. However, that application had a dedicated return line, unlike my application. Thank you again!
