Title: Aqua Hot vibration while running
Post by: bigdog on April 26, 2017, 11:04:10 pm
Did a search but found nothing.
Has anybody been able to feel the vibration of the Aqua Hot while it is running? Before my old unit burst a hot water pipe & had to be rebuilt. It ran very quietly & smoothly. Our newly rebuilt unit (August 2016 so still under warranty) is very noisy and on this last trip has started vibrating to the point that I can feel the vibration at the dinner table through the ceramic tile floor and my shoes.

Mine does not do that.  I can sort of hear the fan / blower come on at most.

Jerry,

Ask this question on the Aqua Hot Forum  forum.rvhydronicheaterrepair.com.  Plus as on of the Aqua Hot phone techs too  303.651.5500.

I am not used to feeling the burner motor vibrate the floor either.  Where are you as it would be easy to check it out?

I'm in Walla Walla, Wa.
The coach is going to RnR RV (a former Foretravel dealer) They did the work last year when my AH was rebuilt.

Talked to AH HQ. Def not normal and said it would probably start throwing circuit breakers as it gets worse. Likely a burner bearing. Verified that it is under warranty so RnR Spokane can fix it in place.

Thanks Rudy.
