Our water heater is set at the lowest setting. 1. At what temperature does the Ladybug reduce the water flow?2. Can the sensor temp be adjusted?

I don't know what temp it stops the water, my tank is set at medium low. I turn on only the hot water and when the water gets hot it turns to trickle mode. There is nothing to adjust the temp
1114429
As soon as the water gets warm it reduced the water flow. The sensor temp can not be adjusted its automated
1114430
The unit has a fixed temp and cannot be adjusted check your specs for setting
1114431
Should be no problem. I take showers in warm water and the auto shutoff works. I do not think the sensor can be adjusted but I don't think you would need to anyway.

I believe Ladybug is hard-wired to activate at 95 degrees. It cannot be adjusted.

I don't think the sensor temp can be adjusted. But I think that the water heater at the lowest setting (but not vacation mode) should be fine. I've had the sensor not stop the flow if the kids turn the hot water on to less than half, but you can feel the water and it's barely lukewarm at that point. I think as long as you turn the hot to full blast when you turn it on, even with the lowest water heater temp, it will still stop the flow. If you have two handles on your water, leave the cold off. Your goal is to get the most hot water to the showerhead as fast as possible to flush out the cold water in the pipes. If you have a one handled shower faucet, just turn it all the way up.

Do you thermometer? at what temperature is your water?. Is because you have the water too hot, the heater has thermometer so it turn on when is needed.

If memory serves you adjust the temperature with the bottom handle. You have to push that button inward and turn the handle counter clockwise...if this doesn't work make sure the water hoses behind the unit are connected to the correct pipes. Hope this helps.

Same issue with this and a former model for us. The solution is to turn it down. Yes the water isn't as hot, but...

It's possible that your water is already above the temperature that the heater is set for. Either that or it's a defective unit, like the other answer said!

You cannot set the temperature. There is a thermostat that regulates the temperature so the water does not freeze.

don't know - don't listen for fan, but the water starts to get warmer because i have it set higher. this is my 2nd toto. Love it

Mine has been submersed in my 55 gallon tank for almost a year. The water level comes just above the dial and onto the cord. I have not had any issues with it heating and my thermometer and heater settings are dead on. I would buy it again. 300 watt version for my 55.

Yes you can set the desired temperature and let it go it'll keep the temperature as long as you need it to this thing is unbelievable I wish I would've gotten one along time ago and it does turn off on the temperature is right but it still cycles water.

The only choice you are given is how hot or cold you want your water. Pressure remains the same. Not like the "older" controls which allowed you to control not only the temp but the flow of water which to me makes a lot more sense (you could turn the water down without changing the temp and pull handle back out to your preferred pressure); but ECO has taken over and control and water conversation has flown away with the wind.

Hi William. Mark here... Personally, the combination of the heater and the provider has been a nightmare. 2X now, the inner coils have burst from cold temps. If you live in a cold climate be very careful! T oanswer your quesytion, the unit is in our studio apt and to prepare to take a shower we must first turn on the sink hot wate which is near the shower to initiate the hot water. Then once the shower is turned on (as long as the unit continues to fire) we then tune thew sink off which allows the shower to keep flowing hot water. It's a querk for lack of a better term to say the least and I hope thatg answered your question. Hi William. Mark here...

I had a similar issue just the other day. It seemed the water temp wasn't moving. I unplugged it, let the heater sit (in the water) unplugged for about 20 minutes. Then plug it in again. I think the heater needs time to get acclimated to the water temp, before the filament or whatever starts cooking. Give that shot before you start slamming the heater against the wall. = )

No, you can only control temperature. Water flow is constant at one setting. It's not too hard and not too light. If I could control the flow, I would set it at what it is now.

it's not the water flow that you adjust .it's is the max water temperature that you adjust !

I have a couple of these in some 10 gallons. Make sure your heater and thermometer are not too close. When the heater coils turn on they make the surrounding water rather warm. You may have experienced a 80 reading when the pilot light was on and coils were hot.

I did a little test to find the low spot that water will flow to around my washing machine and hot water heater by pouring a little water in the area where they are located. The water will pool in that low spot and that is where I placed the sensor. I just have it sitting on the floor in these low spots. I know it works because my wife was doing some hand wash in the sink which is right next to the washer and some water spilled on the floor. She was on the phone to me asking "how do I shut this thing off???". They work. Hope this help.

No, but turning down the thermostat on your water heater would do that, as well as save you money on heating your water higher than you need it to be heated. Just search on the internet, "how to turn water heater temperature down"
