SOURCE: Bosch Pro tankless water heater overheating

The vent pipe you use is the correct size for the heater.Longer runs require bigger pipe.I also would check to see if the water is getting to hot.

SOURCE: Tankless water heater pilot light will not stay on

It is most likely the water valve stuck open, telling the controls to heat water, that it thinks is flowing through it, but without actual flow it overheats. Depending on how comfortable you are with taking it apart yourself, you could open the valve to see if it just needs cleaned out, or if you have a ruptured diaphragm or some other cause.

SOURCE: i have a 250SX aquastar bosch tankless hot water

The 250 MUST have the condensate line connected. EC comes from gas supply problems and CO2 levels not being adjusted. LP units require 3/4" smooth gas pipe or 1" corrugated pipe minimum size. The LP regulator needs to be turned up to about 13 inches of water column and with all the gas appliances on, measure no less than 11 inches of water column. The CO2 levels must be measured by a qualified gas technician with a calibrated (with in 6 months) CO2 analyzer.

I have a power star ae115 electric tankless water heater. It has performed flawlessly for approximately 5 years. A couple weeks ago it stopped producing HOT water but is still heating to Luke warm. The "...

5 years is about the lifespan for tankless.
You might have shorted element. That would explain cooler water and tripping reset.
Test element: power is off, disconnect wires from element; ohms = voltage squared divided by watt rating of element

I have a PowerStar tankless electric water heater, model #44-557710 and it was replaced about 3 months ago. This morning I had hot water and this afternoon I do not. When I call for hot water a red light...

Call Bosch. And exercise your 10 year parts warranty rights.
Copy following link for Bosch power star manuals:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Bosch-Tankless-water-heater.html#Ariston
Check circuit breakers, fully off and then fully back on. Test if voltage is at least 80% rating plate on unit. Check that temperature dial is set correctly. Call for service again.
Don't install tankless computer that heats water. You cannot fix this computer yourself, and they are problematic for owners.
Go to Lowes right now, spend $285 and buy tank-type electric water heater, roll it into your house, and save money, since the electric tankless computer heater costs average $100 more per year to operate than tank-type heater for average family of 4.
Tank type heater can be repaired by homeowner same day for $25 using off-the-shelf parts from hardware store. And that empowers the regular guy, and gets you off the junk tankless treadmill.

I just replaced the circuit board, and the water gets warm, but not hot.

Problem might be crossover from failed single-handle faucet cartridge:

Powerstar 115 tankless tripping reset ontop of #2 heat chamber #1 does not get overly warm mainly because of incoming water temp. but #2 seems to be heating after water flow stops to hot to touch and...

I don't have specific suggestion for tankless tripping breaker or if that is a circuit breaker problem or a tankless problem.

1) Move wires to another same-size breaker and see if problem persists.

2) Compare amp draw on tankless label with wire size and breaker size amp rating.
For example 30 amp breaker using 10ga wire is rated for 80% of listed amps or 24 amps.

3) If you are drawing full 30 amps, then 30 amp breaker is getting hot. Breaker trips with heat. Older breakers can trip more easily.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-replace-circuit-breaker.html

4) Before calling service technician, open following link for Bosch troubleshooting steps.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Bosch-Tankless-water-heater.html

5) Be sure to read manual for yearly maintenance requirements.

6) Add a tempering tank for incoming cold water problem.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Tempering-tank.html

7) All gas tankless brands can be repaired by homeowner for $330.

Water turns cold very quickly

I had the EXACT same problem (installed my tankless last winter and worked fine, now this summer it fluctuates, have to turn the shower completely off and then on again to get any hot water and then it only lasts for a couple of minutes!) Argh - it is frustrating!

Here's what I found: the demand for hot water is lower during the summer (hot) months because the "cold" water coming in is already quite warm. You don't need as much hot water to make the shower temp comfortable. SO, my tankless was shutting off due to low flow demand. I've removed the flow restrictor from my shower head and it helped alot but didn't completely solve the prob. Next step is what has been recommended to me by several people but is much more expensive - change the pressure valve on your shower to a temperature valve. Or just wait til winter and it should work ok again :)

Does grundfos rcp96 pump work with bosch 2400 eo tankless heater?

What is your reason to have a recirc line on your water heater does the heater sit to far away from a certain fixture? If you put a pump on your tankless waterheater then your heater will continually fire till the call for hot water is stopped. Yes you normally do need a seperate line installed for a recirc line usually from the water heater to the farthest fixture away. If your problem is taking to long to get hot water then I suggest installing a second heater closer to problem area.

Rinnai r70e warm not hot

This's been a cold year!
Is this an instantaneous water heater?
If it's outside or on an un-insulated wall in an unheated area this could very well be all that's wrong with it!
Is your heater well insulated?
Are your pipes well insulated?
Is it in a heated area?
If not I would insulated it real good and try moving it to an area that's heated!
