    Water heater on 120 volts

    My used 2024 FR30DS water heater never worked on 120 volts, so I used gas and it was fine. We use up a tank of propane when in a FL resort for 3 months, so I figured it was time to fix it. Started probing the element, thermostats and even pulled the switch out, looking for power. Last place to...

    From Tankless ST-60 to Tanked SW6DE

    I have a 2023 Jayco 195RB and I made the move from a Suburban tankless water heater ST-60 to a Suburban tanked style SW6DE. Took a bit of time with the electric and plumbing changes but the Aqualock fittings made it easy. I had to change out a single 20A circuit breaker for a tandem 15/20A...

    This is my second summer with my 2012 Flagstaff HW. The water heater worked last year and I winterized it.
