Aqua Hot Service


Twotoes

Recommended Posts

I am in the Escapees Co-Op in Benson AZ and need the annual service completed on my Aqua Hot 450 D. I went on Aqua Hots web site and there is only one mobil tech listed and he is located inTucson which is 45 miles away. He wants $150 for the drive to Benson plus $250/300 for the service. I normally pay about $200 total. Does anyone know of a Aqua Hot tech near Benson? TIA

Is your aquahot working ok?  If you are running your diesel burner once a month on a regular basis the annual service can go  longer than annually. Servicing an aquahot is not difficult and consists of removing the Webasto burner, changing the nozzle, cleaning the photo disc, setting the electrodes, brushing out the combustion chamber, rotating the watts mixing valve, checking coolant level in tank, and changing the fuel filter.  A bit of a dirty job but easily done and the only parts needed are a new nozzle and fuel filter and a 10mm long socket with a 10-12" extension.  You should be able to find YouTube videos on this. Pay attention when attaching the Webasto burner since the 2 nuts are only put on snug! 

http://rvhydronicheaterrepair.com  is a good source for parts and info.

 If you can change the oil in your car you can do this.

Yes, my Aqua Hot is working ok. I just need the routine annual service. I am full time so I am using it 24/7/365, and it has been well over a year since it was last serviced. I am handicapped and not able to do it myself.

La Mesa RV is not a mobil service. I am looking for a mobil service. I may have to wait till summer. I guess it won’t hurt but I skipped the service last winter due to limited funds.

Like jcussen said (hi Jim) buy a nozzle and filter, you should have these for spares, and look around the campground for another coach that might have an aquahot and ask who they use.  If they service theirs themselves you could offer to pay them to do yours.

There is a couple who winter in the same park as us, they always have an authorized Aqua-hot repair sign displayed. Ask your RV park office.

Sorry, it’s been awhile and I haven’t gotten back. I did ask around and got a referral from a friend in my park. Got the service done, $250 ($200 parts and $50 labor) and all is well. The service tech is not local but comes here for a week every year on his way to Quartzite.

Yes I kept the receipt but I probably won’t be returning to AZ next season. It was very cold here, below freezing. I know it was an unusual winter, especially for TX,  it it’s the wind in the AZ desert that is killing my sinuses. I may go to FL again next winter.
