“will work well for only a year or two”
These water heaters were redesigned a few years back. They feature more safety... but these changes in design cause more service calls and cold water. The closed/restricted air intake to the combustion chamber will begin to snuff out your pilot. It'll happen a couple times a month... before you know it, it'll be 3 times a day.
When your unit gets a few years old, and you start having this problem email me.
Hondaddy at Hondaddy dot com . They have some problem with me using my normal actual email.
,I will send you some info on how to get it back right without having to pay for an unnecessary service call.
When it works right, it works well. But in a year or three it'll get finicky. But I have your back covered. Just let me know where to send the info.
I'm always glad to help, -tom2-
