• Troubleshooting Fogatti Water Heater That Won't Ignite
• The 40-45 psi preferred water pressure for the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR has to do with the input pressure, not the output pressure. Installing a low flow shower head shouldn't be keeping the Fogatti from igniting since it would be the same as barely turning on a faucet. You can verify this is the case by removing that shower head and turning on the hot water to see if you get the same scenario. Since the water heater won't ignite you'll need to check that the fuse is...

• Does the Phoenix Faucets Item # PF276054 Completely Shut Off Or Does It Trickle As Others Do
• The trickle you get out of the head is in fact to avoid too much pressure to the hose and fittings going to the shower head from the main hot and cold knobs. When the water is turned off at the knobs the water will not trickle from the head and shouldn't unless one or both of the knobs is not completely closing off the water flow. The water should only trickle out of the head when the water is turned on by the main hot and/or cold knobs. I would not suggest leaving the hot and cold water...

• Troubleshooting Leaking RV Shower
• Basically, a vacuum breaker has a piece of plastic that is held in place by water pressure. If the water pressure is to drop the piece will spring out of the way exposing a vent that will allow air to enter. Your leak could be from the vacuum breaker being open letting water run through it all the time. The replacement we carry for Phoenix Faucets is # PF273002. The install instructions are linked to this page. You'll want to look at yours and make sure it's the same before ordering.

• Troubleshooting City Water Low Pressure At A Campsite
• The Seaflo Submersible Utility Pump for Boats and RVs # SE54FR is a water pump and is designed for short intermittent use so it wouldn't really increase the pressure for your RV how you're needing it to. You would instead need to install a higher GPM and PSI rated water pump than what you currently have and/or an accumulator tank like the Seaflo Accumulator Tank for RV and Boat Water Pumps # SE38FR to increase the pressure. If you're running off of city water pressure from the campground...

• Shower Faucet Not Getting Hotter After Temperature Was Already Adjusted
• I took a look at the owner's manual for the Empire Faucets RV Shower Valve w/ Vacuum Breaker # EM62FR and you are correct, the small plastic cap that you turned clockwise to increase the temperature is the temperature adjustment mechanism. Since you've already adjusted the temperature on the faucet itself, then I recommend next checking your water heater. A common component for a water heater to insufficiently heat the water is a faulty thermostat. The thermostat controls the water heaters...

• Troubleshooting the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater, Low Water Pressure
• Your Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater, # LSB64FR requires a minimum water pressure to operate, ideal is 40-45 PSI but should still work below 20. If you have water pressure much below that, or it fluctuates dropping much below, this is probably your issue. I suggest you consider the Camco RV Water Pressure Regulator, # CAM40064 to keep the water pressure in the 40 PSI to 50 PSI range.

• Troubleshooting Fogatti RV Water Heater Not Producing Hot Water

If this still does not help you may have...

• Troubleshooting An "Fd" Error Code With A Fogatti Tankless RV Water Heater
• When the temperature of the water pipe in the water heater is lower than 43°F the controller on your # LSB64FR will display “Fd”.

• Water Heater in 1984 Fleetwood RV Will Not Ignite
• It's very possible that the thermocouple could have gone bad, which is a fairly common cause for a water heater not to light. We do have a few replacement thermocouples available, such as the 18-inch # CAM09273, which are all universal-fit items. I also recommend checking to make sure there are no loose connections anywhere and that everything is securely attached. Lastly, if the unit on your RV is an older model, it might simply need to be replaced. I have attached a link that will...

• Fluctuation of Water Temp of Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater
• The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater, # FR93FR uses a vortex system mixing the heated water with cold to eliminate fluctuations and reduce the risk of hot water scalding.
