Why does the hot water shut off mid-shower?

This water heater needs a minimum of 8psi to keep the gas on. So if your running a washer or someone is flushing the water pressure drops. If thats the case you need to install a pressure increase valve. You can get from the hardware store or have a plumber install its not expensive. One other issue it could be if water pressure is not a factor. Your machine is overheating. Contact a plumber.

if the water flow isn't fast enough the water will get too hot and will shut off for safety reasons and once it shuts off it doesn't like to turn on for a while. because of this i run the bathroom faucet at the same time and adjust the flow to play with the temperature and keep it stable. i've never had an issue with a drop in water pressure turning it off and we use multiple faucets with it running like flushing the toilet running the washer and taking a shower and not had a problem.

My heater quit working entirely, out of warranty, so I replaced it with a conventional tank type hot water heater. Additionally. When the incoming water temperature would get very cold in the winter the water would not get hot enough as it passed through the heater. We then would turn the hot water faucet down to slow the flow down then the water would get warmer. I think these units are not very reliable for every day use. I will never purchase another one of them.

We only recently began using our Shower panel and we've also heard a noise coming from the unit. I can't say whether or it's the temperature displaycausing this noise. The temperature display runs off of hydrostatic pressure and it could be that mechanism. Who knows - the noise isn't all that badhowever the overall jury is still out.

I don't know...have you cleaned the filter? Have you drained the water out? Is anything blocked? By shutting down, do you mean it turns off completely? It's not supposed to do that, though you may have it on a setting to save electricity where it does that...You'd probably have to read the instruction manual...and if you don't have it, maybe it's available online..good luck!

If you leave the light on then the power is going thru the unit and the heater coils will heat the water up to temp in say 10 mins or so and you could then "take your shower" ........................... if you forget to go shut it off it will continue to keep the water at the set temp and cost a lot to maintain that temp.Really if you take a shower everday at say 6am then just put the timers on to have the heater come on for 30 mins starting at 5:30am and when you hop in it will be all hot for you and you don't have to mess with it again, it will shut off at 6am and you will have hot water most of the day ...................... the main reason for buying one of these is so you don't have to mess with it???

It shuts off on its own when the water temperature reaches the temperature you set it on

The shut off is supposed to be automatic. We see some evaporation but not a lot. I tested our water and it was 40 degrees. We also add clean water each day.

You can off the hot water. Also, there is a child proof device to turn on the hot water (but you know they usually are more adult-proof than child-proof).

Lift the lever to turn on the water. Push it to the left for hot and to the right for cold. Shuts off completely with nearly no effort. I'm getting 2 more for my other bathrooms, I love this so much!

I would say no. The Off switch doesnt actually shut the water off it just lowers the flow to a steady trickle I use it all the time useful for getting a nice soapy lather without having to shut the shower off.

It is factory pre-set to a certain temperature. How you would normally do it is to turn on the hot water only, check temp and slowly open cold water till you reach the temp you want. If you open cold water to fast and to much, the unit will not shut off but the water will become cold instead of warm. If you turn on cold water first and then hot water, it takes to long to get warm.

The shut off splits the water between the tank and the bidet when it is open. When you close the valve it shuts off the water to the bidet only. Hope that helps

Basically it shuts the dryer off when it gets to hot. Sometimes if it does get too hot it can blow the fuse. Then you have to buy a new thermal fuse.

You need the pressure from the hose to push the water through the shower so no, it will not function properly if you disconnect it.

No shutoff but usually it's hooked up after faucet's shutoff so no big deal.

No, there is no shut-off on this shower head. However, I wanted the same feature so I purchased elsewhere (not on Amazon) an in-line shut-off valve that I added (placed) in-line at the joint where the Hansgrohe tubing comes off the shower arm mount. This valve allows me to control flow from wide-open to completely off and works beautifully with the shower head. It's tough to find a showerhead with an on/off valve anymore for some reason.

Probably like many homes with older pipes, there is more dissolved metals (hard water) in hot water, and therefore you likely have less overall flow in your hot water pipes. I have the same condition. The solution is to replace your pipes. Nothing to do with the shower head.

The only thing I can think of is to run the hot water in the sink longer befor you start the washer. I have a washer that reheats the water if it cools off, so I have never had this problem. I do think that water temperature is probably the answer.
