my 4.2lt turbo,intercooled dsl is going fine
Failure 1. Water flow stops instantly and pilot light stalls.
Not sure what this means, if you mean the water stops pumping when you shut the valve on the shower head and that
the pilot light goes out then that is a safety initiative not a fault.
Failure 2. Temp can not be controlled and is much too hot to use.
The temp is preset to not go over about 42c. The control knob at maximum open position will not let water heat more than that, even if you try recycling the water over and over the unit will not let you go over 42c.The control knob controls the heat almost instantly, far quicker response than the 2 (only 2) "under the bonnet" showers I have played with
I have a primus hot water unit and have used it about 6 times so far and am very impressed. the only allowance I have had to make is that I purchased a 10lt container with 2 holes in the top enabling me to put both the outlet hose and the inlet hose in so that during the setup period where you have the water running and havent yet lit
the pilot flame I dont lose that water to ground. Once
the pilot flame is lit I am straight into the shower.
