Hi, we are renting and have no hot water. We have a water wizard on the outside of the house. Should we have connected with a gas company? Or does it run on something else?

It looks quite old but I went out and turned the pilot light on because it was off. We are wondering if we didn't connect to a gas company when we first moved in (4 weeks ago) how could it have worked? Very confused.

No water coming out of hot water taps with a Bosch Water Wizard 10P?

Do you live in a climate where the hot water line could have frozen? If your heater did freeze up, that could be very bad. This is because water actually expands when it freezes and can do a lot of damage to pipes and to the water heater itself. My other thought is possibly a clogged in line water filter. But typically a clogged water filter would make it run with reduced pressure rather than a complete shutdown all water flow.

Power out for 48 hours, tankless water heater located outside of house, temperature around 20 degrees, no hot water coming out of tap, where do i begin?

First, I don't even want to know why someone would put a tankless outside as you have found out...really bad idea. In order to help you, more information is needed. Is this a gas or electric unit? Or a gas unit with electric controls? Is it mechanically or electronically controlled ( a make and model would help). Are the water lines to or from the tank exposed? When you say no hot water coming from the tap does that mean when you turn on the hot water faucet you just get cold water or no water?

Am i resposible for the expense to bring my hot water tank up to code when i am renting the tank.

Call the company who installed it.
If you are renting, there will be a contract that specifies cost for repairs and updates.

Gas exhaust smell when Hot water heater ignites

Absolute danger here:

1) Call gas company IMMEDIATELY to check for gas leak that can cause explosion and fire.

2) Call plumber immediately to fix improper combustion or improper vent before toxic combustion by-product kills family.
Gas appliances must vent toxic by-product outside and away from home where the gasses will kill the planet instead of you.

Loud vibrating sound coming from hot water heater. Had gas company change meter and regulator. At first was losing hot water while in the shower. Went through check list after it coded out at #12, all...

Can't address other issues, but WATER pressure should be 40 to 80(I'd say 70)lbs. tester at home D for $10-15. Goes on hose Bibb outside, or at washing machine cold valve.

I have a Bosch Water Wizard 960 400 NG. How do I adjust the water temperature??

In New Zealand, the Bosch 960 Water Wizard has a maximum temperature of 55 degrees celsius, for safety reasons, check with your local gas fitter or plumber to see if your system has been set correctly. If water feels hot through some taps in the house, but not others, then there is a good chance your water pipes are not insulated, meaning that the heat from the water is escaping out through the pipes before it gets to the shower, for example. As far as I am aware, there is no way to manually adjust the water temperature of a Bosch 960 Water Wizard, it has to be done by a certified professional gas fitter. Recommendation: Get a more up-to-date gas water heater, that doesn't require a manual restart each time the pilot light goes out.

I can get the water to stop running from the water heater to the outside of the house.

If this water is coming from the pressure/temperature relief valve on your tank type water heater, and it is piped from inside to outside of the house, you could try pulling up on the lever atop the pressure/temperature relief valve and releasing it. See if it sets properly. It may have to be replaced if I understand your problem accurately.

Upsstair shower doesn't supply continuous hot water, downstair works great. Water pressure problem?

It could be a water pressure problem but most water supply companies put out enough pressure for a 2 story house (or even 4 stories) easily. Can you clarify what you mean by continuous? Does the water get cold, on and off (i.e. no hot water) or does it vary in temperature mildly?

No water flow from hot water tap with a rinnai tankless water hea

Its A Possibility The Left Over Water In The Hot Is Frozen. If Your Line Is Exposed Outside Somewhere It Can Easily Freeze Up. Turn On The Hot Water Everywhere In The House And If Accessible Check The Lines To See Where The Warmth Ends. You Can Leave One Off Over Night In Hopes That It Will Eventually Defrost.
