Welcome to the forums cbova.

What does the manual say in the user troubleshooting guide? Batteries and wiring correct??

Follow guidelines, if still no good, take it back for another one.

Hey thanks! I don't think it came with a manual so I went online n I found one like it that said the ignition is triggered by water pressure. so do I have to connect it to make it work? It's digital

What is the brand and model of the water heater. 12 kw is a lot of electricity, and I'm not sure what a D battery has to do with it.

Yes, you have to connect it to water and propane for it to work.

So I tried to use it today and there's no power nothing happens on the little screen. It was 12kw of heat not electricity thanks sm!

Have you hooked up the water connection? Post pictures please


Is this the cheap little unit sold by Walmart that uses 2 D batteries for ignition power rather than 120vac? Walmart had one unit for $79.99.


Return the defective product and get a replacement.

Tankless water heaters will not ignite unless there is water flowing through them.

Hey does anyone know if your supposed to use some sort of glue on the threading when doing a flare on 3/8 copper pipe for gas?

No offense meant, but if you are asking the questions you are asking, I would STRONGLY suggest that you contact a plumber to have them recommend and install a good quality LP tankless water heater.

New ones just plug into a 110 outlet.
