It operates on the principle of heating water instantaneously “on demand”. When a hot water faucet is opened, cold water flows through the coils of the heat exchanger in the Aquastar. This same flow opens the gas valve, and the burners are ignited by the pilot flame. - Page 3 MINIMUM INSTALLATION CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE AND NON COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS 6 720 606 446 TOP (A) FRONT (B) BACK SIDES FLOOR (C) VENT DIAMETER AQUASTAR MODEL 38B SIDE VIEW MODEL 38B 12 " 4 " 0 " 4 " 12 " 4 "...

Confirm that your Aquastar is venting properly when all these other appliances are running. See section on venting. -

A wood stove or furnace can rob the make- up air in the AquaStar’s vent pipe, leaving the cold infiltrating air capable of freezing the cold water in the AquaStar heat exchanger. - Page 6 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu per hour of the combined rating of all appliances installed in the space.

Page 7: Venting The Heater
VENTING Vent pipe connection. WARNING: Do not reduce the vent pipe size. The heater must be vented to the outside following all local ordinances and specifications for installing a gas appliance vent or chimney. The heater must be located as close as practicable to a vertically rising chimney or vent that has a listed vent cap at its termination point. - Page 8 : Masonry chimneys shall be built and installed in accordance with NFPS 211 or local codes. A MASONRY CHIMNEY minimum 4” diameter gas vent pipe (metal double wall Type B), or an approved clay flue liner or a listed chimney lining system must be used when venting into a naturally drafting, internal masonry chimney.

Page 12: Setting Water Temperature
The position you select on the temperature adjustment knob will depend on the temperature of the incoming water (50°F is average in the U.S.). If you plan to supply the AquaStar 38 B, with preheated water (i.e.) solar installation, the unit could overheat. -
Page 13: Trouble Shooting
(see maintenance table on back) Introduction The AquaStar 38 burners are ignited by a water flow valve. Numerous water related problems can cause this water valve to malfunction such as: Insufficient water flow volume to activate the burners at its minimum flow requirement; Dirt in the water flow valve causing it to malfunction;... - Page 14 The crossover will create a back pressure in the system preventing the pressure drop in the Aquastar (i.e. cold water is entering the water heater from both sides and the burners will not come on).
- Page 15 AquaStar and the outlet Compare water temperature at outlet of the AquaStar (hold the AquaStar’s outlet pipe with your hand) and at the tap. If these two are very different, check for mixing valve or plumbing crossover (see “BURNERS DO NOT IGNITE WHEN HOT WATER IS TURNED ON”...
