I want to know how to set the water hotter on my water heater, not the valve

There is a dial at the bottom of your h2o heater it's very self explanatory just turn it toward the hotter setting

Go to the bottom of your water heater (not underneath) and turn the knob to the next hottest point or arrow.

The valve has a hot water stop to prevent scalding. In order to get it hotter water you need to adjust the factory setting. Your installation manual explains how to do this in a step by step diagram with drawings. If you threw it out already you can download a new one from the manufacturer

There should be a number on the right side of the machine; call them and give them the model number, and they can tell you where to send it for service. Sounds like you may have some lime scale insulating the heating element from the water you are trying to heat.

I usually start with hot water, but the thing will heat water and keep it at a nice temp. I like it hot, not tepid, and it does the trick.

You can do this however, you defeat the purpose of having hot water when you need it. I t takes a little whild to heat up just like a warter heater. Hope this helps.

Our Rheem water heater has a red dial down by the botton near the pilot light button. Turning this dial allows you to increase or decrease the temp. However, if your water heater is having the same problem mine did, small pieces of the filler tube had broken off and blocked the hot water line and in doing so the water temp. dropped because not as much hot water was mixing with the cold.

Yes there is. It tellsvyou the current temp as well as an option for setting the heater to the temp you want.

You can't. I purchased this and 1 heater went out. I was told not to use the highest settings.

I don't have experience with doing that, but this machine does have a limit to how hot the water can be that you put in it. How hot are you looking to go? If the water is too hot for you to touch/ work with, it is too hot for this machine. I generally go by the rule of "if I would shower in this temperature, then we are okay, anything hotter is pushing it". Its made out of plastic, and the parts can melt if you go to, say, boiling.

I called Bosch and you can hook this model up to the hot water side to fill the heater. Some brands say you can not do that. I did this in my kitchen and by the time I used the two gallons in the heater, hot water from my main heater is finally refilling this heater. I keep this heater set at about 130 F so when the warm water from the main heater starts finally feeding in, the water at my kitchen sink never goes below 110 - 115 F and then will start to recover.

There's a plastic lever on the left side of where the wires hook up. Make sure the valve itself is seated properly., and slowly pull the lever down. You should hear the water rushing through the system and your heat will work until u figure if your thermostat is bad of the wiring is not right. Good luck

I got this heater today, didn't use it yet. But just so you know, the red numbers you see in the front is not the digital display or current temp of the water, it shows at what setting you kept your thermostat. I don't know how accurate that thermostat works.

In a sense yes you can. The thermostat unit has a "hotter/colder" wheel on the front of it like any normal water heater.What that dial actually does is change how often the burner kicks on and how long it burns for. If the insulation stays in good shape and you don't put a high demand for water on the unit you will then get hotter water.

The way these come out of the box the factory adjustment is set to stop the valve short of fully opening on the hot side. Simple solution: 1. Remove cap from handle end and remove the phillips head screw inside to take off the handle. 2. Remove the torx head screw that is inside the valve stem. Then you be able to pull out the out the plastic adjustment ring to move it a couple of clicks to the left for hotter water. Grab it by the triangular piece to pull it out and re-seat it. 3. Put everything back together in the order of removal. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes to do yourself. I believe the torx head screw is 15, if I remember correctly. Good luck.

make sure water nozzle is on all the way (knob on water bottle) and let heat up all the way.

It's easy. There is a button on the left knob. You hold it down and turn the knob towards the wall for the shower head, or towards you for the hand shower. The knob on the right side controls the water temperature.
