vaillant gas water heater

We have a Junkers one at our place in Spain ( get us with second homes lol) and ours does the same, it's because of a loss of pressure from the regulator to the unit. How old is the orange pipe as it needs to be changed every three years at least and five at the latest. Is your water heater outside or inside, our is outside in a boiler house and over the winter if we haven't been out for a couple of months it's as though the damp gets in. I usually turn the gas on then start the cooker to draw the gas through then light the fridge and then make sure the water heater is working.

We are in the campo so electric is what we generate and store in batteries so we need as many things as possible on gas. Check the date on the orange hose as it may have a small leak, but after that its probably something you will have to live with, I know that if I don't turn everything on in a certain order you would spend ages trying to fire the things up. Have you thought of changing the water heater? We bought one from Leroy Merlin for our apartment and it starts quicker from no gas than the Junkers and it was only around 100 euro. If you are on a development have you asked any of your neighbours if they have the same problem.

Don't know about rogue butane men, but Repsol are the biggest bandits, a charge for this and a charge for that and don't forget to pay a fee for this so we can charge you for that. After all that, you still have to drive into town to get a new bottle. The only main change is that they have closed the local Repsol office and can now get gas bottles at the local petrol stations, imagine that!
