3. Water flow is not sufficient to activate heater. Water flow rate at faucet is below minimum flow needed to activate heater. When temperature adjustment knob is turned all the way clockwise, the model 425 EF requires 1/2 gallon per minute flow to activate the heater. As a reference, this is a flow which would fill a quart jar in 30 seconds. If the temperature adjustment knob is turned fully counterclockwise, a flow rate of 1.1 gallons/minute is required to activate the heater. 4. Bad fuse Chec
