- Pardon my quick heavy breathing. This was merely on opportunity to show a fairly common issue with check valves on a RV hydronic heater or AquaHot. This setup had 3 zones for heating and only one of them was working. The zone circulating pumps were working but the hydronic solution could not get past the check valve into the zone loops.
Like every good mechanic, you hit it with a hammer.
Dont forget to service the unit annually:

First repair hit it with a hammer
Second repair hit it a little harder.
Priceless
Thanks for all the info you give us!
this is one you don't want to do as a mobile job, customer's don't like being charged seeing you just hit something with a hammer. :)
It’s difficult to overstate just how useful your vids are to motorhome owners.
I really appreciate that
Fixed her with the ol Tonya Harding!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
That works
Stuck valves
Derek got a fancy going to town Tonya Harding last night on their live stream...
Right on, thank you for making this video. Now I know what hydronic heating is.
Glad to help
I am concerned about the water on the ground. I know you said not to worry about it, but I do.
Very helpful video.
well, I changed out the water pump, and found a very large leak when I turned it on.
Thanks for another video, even the quick ones are educational. Glad you are busy and doing well.
Glad you like them!
"Percussive Engineering" at its best.
that's a great term.
Good Video, Short and to the point . So many drag it out for 20 minuets. Thank You.
Glad you liked it!
So exercising the Aqua Hot is as important as the generator great to know. Great fix and content thank you!
yes, very important.
Thank you so much for these videos I learn a lot about systems and construction methods and it’s all greatly appreciated
Glad you like them!
I didn't even come here for this issue, but am very glad I did. Your videos are awesome - here and on TT. Hope you keep it up!
Much appreciated! :) Thanks for watching!
Always bring a hammer. Good to know about this fix, thanks James. Happy trails!
I gave up using my meat hammer too late in life. lol
Another great tip. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Mechanic 101 in any Technical Colleges. To fix a problem, first hit it with a hammer. Second, hit it harder. And here's your certificate ,🤣🤣.
Jokes aside, your vids are a must watch.
Good one and the beard is sharp!
That's what I'm sayin'!
thank you
Glad that it was a quick fix. Thanks for sharing
Me too!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Is this as permanent a repair as would be replacing the check valves?
Thanks James. Another great video. You knew what the problem was and how to fix it.
It is a good repair. If it continues then I would recommend replacing but I have done this many times now and it has lasted
Quick & Dirty info is fine!! Thx!!
No problem!
I’ll check mine!!! Thank you!
Yo AZ E, That is awesome. Thanks for the share. Cheers
Thanks for watching!
This made me smile..ingenuity
Thanks for enjoying it
Great info, Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Did you get a red fault light on the panel indicating a fault? For example we have a red LED light on our pump 1 indicator on our panel.
Hi my name is Mike I just watched this video that you just did I have an aqua hot with a small radiator cap it was replaced 3 years ago the whole unit for a rebuilt but recently I've lost the electric side of my hot water heater and I was hoping in this video that you just did. That you would show removing the heating element and I'm assuming it was down in that electric box on the bottom left hand corner of the unit is that correct I still have diesel heat for my hot water that works fine Even though it's blowing a little bit of blue smoke. I haven't used it that much cuz I live here in Florida in my 40 ft beaver coach. If you could help me with a part number for this element for the heater hot water I'd appreciate it Mike Shelton really enjoyed your video
Nice video. If you feel heat at the check valve and beyond and still have minimal heat at some zones. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe flushing the system.
Yes I've got the same problem. I've hit it with the hammer. Check valve is getting heated up but not as hot as the other & same with flow hose. Still blowing cold in zone 3 bedroom.
informational, and useful. Thank you for squeezing in a short vid.
Glad it was helpful!
If I was wanting to be a cub for rv repair. I would dream of this guy to be his prodigy.
How do you check the water level in take for the furnace
On these Aquahots, do they use engine coolant when the engine is running? Do they use electricity when you are plugged into shore power? Are they just Diesel all the time?
Since you work on RVs and all kinds of them do you have one make or model that you would recommend for quality
there is no perfect RV made, the first question is what do you plan to use it for
That’s why one pays the mechanic, they know where to use the hammer👍
the most specialized of knowledge
@@AZExpert no its right angle and force of hammer great job...
Will this for the hot water?
Where did you get the little screwdriver?
Ingenious!
thanks!
My beaver has a hinged top and side to remove, but the geniuses have coolant bottle above it. Broke the spot welds gonna nutsert it so two extra bolts and it'll come apart. Now to figure out why I have no heat on electric
my wife would be a master at fixing these.
Good for her! Thanks for watching!
Hammer can fix alot of stuff
nearly anything worth fixing requires it at some point
Can you use a ballpein hammer or does it have to be a claw hammer ?
You really Knocked that video out quickly.
naturally, as hitting it with a hammer is a mechanics mantra, the motto of every mechanic is "every tool's a hammer"
@@AZExpert Conversely, “if you only have a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail.“ - Maslow
A tap on the directional check valve 👍thx brother have a great day 👏
Thanks, you too!
I'm having a problem with low hot water pressure, the cold water pressure is great, but when you turn it to hot water, the pressure just turns to a dribble
Mechanic favorite tool is the hammer. If that doesn't work get a bigger hammer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
words to live by
The older the unit the bigger the hammer. 😂😂
Great information,, any particular hammer you would recommend? lol
a small one, or of course anything you currently have in your hand at the time.
A brass one
Should change out to wing screws would make it much easier..
that's a good idea
They are the new pumps. Knocks down my theory. The ol technical tap. Wild. I got a bad fan in the toilet dungeon. I can't believe they put all that crap in front of it. Mines sideways and I can work on it, on my side up in the basement.
There was a chance it was the pumps, I was hoping it was not.
@@AZExpert I bet
I need to take the cover off mine and see. Might be in for new pumps
Looks like a horizontal check valve in vertical , unless its a spring lift check valve it is the wrong valve , can’t tell without seeing the part number .
they're the right valves installed by Aquahot

lol Thanks for watching!
Very useful video... Treat it like an old Nissan, Hit it with a hammer.
Good idea!
👍👍
thanks
I found my heating problem The case is cracked The ears is broke can I bring it to you so when you have a chance to fix it
sorry, I would recommend john carillo heatmyrv.com
@@AZExpert thanks 😊
I like repairs that involve only my impact driver and a framing hammer.
What about the meat hammer?
@@AZExpert OHHHHH damn haha... im a mobile tech, most of the time i gotta keep the meat hammer in its place when i got clients around
While repairing cars, we call that a calibrated bump. 🤣
I'lll use that next video
Getting paid to to the technical tap! Merica!
monaco did their best to make it difficult though
I have the 100 series in my 2000 Dynasty. It looks better made, all brass pumps and I leave my sheet metal cover off because it was such a bitch to get off as you noticed. LOL I will remember this if it happens to me. Also mine is in the middle of the coach. (center of the bay left to right) at least this one was on the outside of the bay.
I completely understand

Mechanics friends Hammer Channel locks and adjustable wrench and most important a roll of duct tape.
you're giving away all my secrets
Hammer ia one of the best tools..unless your installing glass...then it's easy does it..lol
Ive tried that too
If t doesn't work, get a bigger hammer 🔨
lol :) Thanks for watching!
mc "Hammer" time
lol
The military send a team to go and find a retired engineer to bring them to start a ship up The retired engineer charges them $100,000 The military says $100,000 to hit it with the hammer the engineer says it's $1,000 to hit it with the hammer and $99, 000 to know where to hit it with the hammer 😂😂😂🤣🤣
lol
Third repair try, get a bigger hammer!
of course
@@AZExpert Good news James! I’m pretty sure I finally found the water leak in my slide out!!!! The power cable for the 16’ awning motor is behind a plastic cover. Where the cable went into the slide out, is near where I was finding water. The original foam was pretty much gone. Filled it with silicone caulk.
Also, Schwintek slide out was pulling in and then motor would spin backward and allow the seals to push it out 1/8 to 3/16”. Talked to Lippert, must replace motor. Even though it works, needs replacement.
Don’t work too hard James!
BTW, the wife thinks maybe we should go to Grand Canyon. If I need some repair work, I could get you to do it!
Respectfully, Kevin
Certainly was a " quick " fix
indeed
