    Water Heater issue-yellow flame

    My atwood heater ignites fine but I only have a yellow flame and never get the normal "jet sound" as it starts to heat up. The flame is large and I worry that the wiring may already be damaged. Any thoughts what would be causing this. It was working 1 day and not the next.

    Tankless water heater

    I'm putting a tankless water heater in my wildwood. My only question is. I have an outlet under my bed as well as the propane hook up. My question is how do I hook up the electric if there is no cord on the heater and really no way to hard wire it in.

    Disinfecting with on-demand water heater

    Always disinfected the water system in our old popup (per Forest River instructions) using 1/4 cup bleach for 10 gallons of water, but that didn't have a water heater.
