Title: Aqua Hot Parts
Post by: GleamB on July 20, 2020, 12:51:46 pm
Hey Rudy....I think I asked you this before, but I am getting forgetful. I am about to order a couple of nozzle tips and wonder what other parts I might want to carry " just in case". If we can return to Mexico next fall, I want to be sure to be proactive It's costly to have things sent down there. Stay safe and healthy. Thanks

Nozzle replacement along with cleaning the combustion chamber and flame sensor solves most problems.

But if you want to be fully prepared, flame sensor $220, Coil $534 and Control Unit $935, bearings $130, fuel pump $413 and motor $557 will cover most failures.  I would only cary the nozzle and filter.  This list is of long lived components except if you have a black Sperios Control Unit.  Then I would consider carring a new Control Unit if flying one to you is difficult.

If you choose to carry this extensive expensive list of parts, please call me and I will offer a discount on the list to help with the cost.  Hope this helps

You already sold me the solid state silver box.
My stimulus check won't cover the other items, but just what kind of discount are we talking about😝😝😝??!!
Got spare fuel filters, clean the chamber every time I change out nozzle. Just checking. Thanks

How about a lease with the option to buy?

The only thing I am missing is the bearings. However I do have a complete burner assembly so should be ok.

Most of this is being prepared when one is in a place that overnight air does not serve.  The money to fund the list put into a savings will pay the overnight air to get a failed part there quickly.  And rarely do I need more than one of the items on the list for a repair.

So, unless one is way out there, this is just a nice discussion.  I do not want to imply one needs a bunch of high dollar parts to keep the heater going long term.
