Hi I've bought myself a 6L lpg heater , having before an8L heater , I was hoping I would need a slower water rate to ignite the 6L but I seem to need a higher rate, what do you lpg users have the control panel set at
Cheers

mines a eco temp and it takes 35 on the flow contoler what is yours

[dazmond]

i use an L10 and have my flow controller on 70.nice high flow.water dial on min settings.

[jonny thompson]

I have two fastar heaters  one being the 8L stainless steel which ignites on a flow of 18-22, the 6L which I hoped needed less flow as I only have a 400 L tank needs a flow of 35 which I find strange

[jonny thompson]

Daz mind how much water do you use a day with that flow rate

[dazmond]

around 400-450L during a typical 6 or 7 hour day(i have a 500L tank)

[jonny thompson]

Not sure why but if I had my flow on 70 I would get through 400l in about 3 hours

[jonny thompson]

Daz when u say water dial on min is this on the heater the control which says fire control or water control, do u have it on summer setting

[dazmond]

on the L10 there is only 1 water dial(no summer/winter settings) and a heat control dial.the boiler will only ignite if water dial is on min setting.

[jonny thompson]

So u don't have a fire control dial which just makes a large or small flame

[dazmond]

So u don't have a fire control dial which just makes a large or small flame

yes course i have(heat control dial).i have it on min setting  most of the time as water is hot even on this setting in the warmer months.in winter its just warm due to heat loss through hose on freezing days(plus you dont want it too hot in freezing temperatures)

[jonny thompson]

Cheers does it fire up ok with fire control on minimum

[dazmond]

Cheers does it fire up ok with fire control on minimum

yep, no problems.

[jonny thompson]

Cheers Daz I will have a go with both on min but flow rate high
