The Aqua Hot Guru, Rudy Legett, said to run the Aqua Hot every 4 to 6 weeks and you only have to run it for one cycle. Turn it on, let it build and when it shuts off you can turn it off. That is the DIESEL side of it. It is to keep the nozzle from coagulating. The best way to check the coolant is with a refractometer (about $20 on Amazon), not strips. It is the recommended method in the Aqua Hot Manual Only use propylene glycol as the antifreez. Best to buy it directly from Aqua-Hot. Blah blah blah - manual is good read. p.s, since you are running the Aqua Hot to satisfy the requirements, turn the thermostat to a temperature that will activate the heat exchangers. This exercises those, at the register, and it exercises the pumps in the Aqua Hot. Only need to do it for a 1 minute or so. Keep in mind not all Aquahots are created equal. Mine utilizes Ethylene glycol (traditional automotive antifreeze). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL made me think of the mouse I found in my old Bounder. I was seting up in ABQ and found him hiding in a sewer hose. Dumped him out and he ran across the gras to the scrub and sand around the park. I can see him meeting another mouse and saying "You aren't going to believe this but". Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Older model. That is why it is so important to read the manual that applies to your particular application. It was determined the Ethylene Glycal is very toxic, whereas polypropylene glycol is used in cosmetics with very low toxicity. Ethylene can be used at very low temperatures, I guess that is why the state for my 400-D to not lower the basement thermostat to less than 40 degrees. .

manholt Report post Posted December 24, 2020 Bill, do you have AH or Oasis? There are several differences between the two...I have Oasis. The 2010 American Tradition, had the 450-D Aqua Hot, so did the 2011 Allegro Bus! Wayne, I'm surprised your 2015, only has the 400-D. It's now Christmas for us! I guess it will be tomorrow for you all...In any case, we wish you all a Blessed Christmas....The birth of Christ is the reason for the Season!!! 🙏🎅 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
