You need the flow on the heater set to min and and use a half inch hose feed to the inlet side on the heater from the pump. Oh and obviously connect the gas and switch the ignition on then turn on the controller and pump to about half way. It then should fire up ok.

However any air in the system will need bleeding out first too if need be before it will fire up. To do this set the conroller on full with all the hoses connected from the pump to the heater and heater outlet hose exept the hose reel and wait untill the tone on the pump changes and you get a constant good flow. Now the heater should fire up straight away so then adjust the flow back down to what you want but not that low it cuts the heater out.

Hi Smurf tried that it still didn't ignite, do you know if digital dispay comes on even when not ignited mine does not?

check to see if it has a on of switch  and you have good batterys and not to much water flow from heater

The digital display on the heater will only come on when the burner fires up.
To test if there is a fault with the heater itself try connecting a hose pipe to it from and outside tap and then see what happen then.

I just had a thought you did get an LPG one I hope
