Paloma PH5-3F remains lit when no demand for water.
Paloma Bob replied to rusty69's topic in Boat Equipment
Sounds like a partial blockage in the bypass, de-scale the water inlet control valve including the slow ignition valve, check the venturi is clear and that the pressure plate springs back smoothly. Although de-scaling will clear limescale, it won't clear silicon and alike sealants, which I've found to be one of the biggest killers of Paloma water heaters. -
Rinnai REU-58E water boiler ignition issues
Paloma Bob replied to Tabs Lee's topic in General Boating
First guess, not enough gas ! Main valve opens to feed burners, what little gas there is goes there rather than the pilot, hence the pilot goes out. -

Leaking join into Paloma heater
Paloma Bob replied to Stroudwater1's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
The 'O' ring seal on the activating rod has failed, allowing water to pass from the water control valve and exiting via the weep hole. To replace this its best to remove the whole burner assembly and dismantle the diaphragm housing. Looking at the condition of the weep hole I would be surprised if the return spring has not rusted away too. -

Hello,
A forum member suggested I ask you about the leak problem on my water heater (posted on forum a few minutes ago). It has not been caused by frost as we have not had any yet! Any help would be most welcome.

Hi. I’m hoping you can help me. I have a Paloma PH5-3F and the gas burners aren’t coming on to heat the water. The temp adjustment valve is ceased as well, but this didn’t effect the burners until now. I have dismantled it from the heater and tried descaling, also tried WD40. I have replaced the diaphragm, but nothing’s working. There is good water flow and the pilot lights no problem. When I turn the tap off quickly the burners light open for a split second and then go out. If I turn the tap off slowly they don’t light up. I thought maybe trying this a few times would free things up, but it’s not improving.
Any sensible suggestions on what to try next very much appreciated
