It lights and i've ran it for hours with only a slight change in water temp. It occasionaly stops "heating" and I have to relight it. I domt want to waste gas if somethings not right. It seems like the water isn't getting heated properly or something. I just moved into a house with this so I've never dealt with it before.
Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.
When you say 'relight it', what do you mean? Poor water flow would lead to the unit overheating in time and it would shut down; explaining both your symptoms as well. Perhaps you need to clean the filter or if it is a cartridge filter, replace the element inside. If that is not the issue you will likely want to hire a professional. Things like taking gas pressure readings are best done by someone in the know. If you have the tools and ability, please reply and we can try to walk you through the process.
