Put this in my FC, best money I've spent on water heat. Keeps it hot long time, when electric is needed, heats up right now.

Water on the HWH compartment floor and low hot water pressure at the faucet. Has anyone relocated the HWH when replacing? installed under bed instead of in the cabinet, like an FC?

I was in the process of replacing every component of the hot water loop, one at a time, the system started working flawlessly. It’s been about a month with 135 degree water and ample pressure. I ran about 10 gallons of vinegar through the system this past spring. After the vinegar, I had to clean the screens daily and remove/shake the Moen spool valve almost as often. I bought two new spool valves and two new temp control valves for the shower to rotate through. Also replaced bathroom sink and kitchen fixtures. In the process of dumbing down the system, the air supply to the hot water heater fill/dump valve was found disconnected. I replaced the airline to the fill/dump mechanism and relocated the switch to an easily accessible location to allow for frequent exercising. I also disconnected the fresh water air fill/dump to ensure no water in the air system. 135 is hotter than I would like, but I ran the shower for an hour, it didn’t run out of warm water. No more public showers for us!

The Vera valve is stuck at a bad time. I removed it and installed shark bites for now. My new problem is the water sensor that turns on the electricity. Where does the white wire connect?

The sensor on my FC is on exit line from hot water heater.

Sorry, I messed up the attachment in previous post. The HWH will get hit with just the red, but I’m guessing the white has a function.

According to the "Water Heater & Dry Tank Switch" diagram, the white is supposed to be grounded to the copper pipe with a hose clamp.

The water system in this bus is really causing me to lose my hair. New issue, water is scolding hot. I don’t see an adjustment. 150-155*
