Which type Richmond water heater?
Is this a tankless water heater or tank-type?

Tankless are notorious for 'cold water sandwich' under exact conditions you describe. You might need tankless with larger BTU burner.
Don't install a tankless.

If you have tank-type water heater, then I suspect a clog in the hot water line, or single-handle faucet cartridge in show is going bad.
Same problems can contribute to tankless problems.

Indoor tankless 74-pvn. power went off and has returned. get error code 24 when try to power on

Open following links for Rheem troubleshooting resources, including Rheem chat, error codes, and possible manual.

Error codes are considered start-point for troubleshoot.
Error code 24 is malfunction of operational switch: press max or min button on PC board to reset, -or- replace PC board.
Max-min button is sometimes located above dip switches, and can be 1 button that is rotated with screwdriver or 2 separate buttons. Look at wiring diagram in manual that came with product.

Vibrating when the heater starts to heat water

Things to Check:

1. incoming gas pressure (minimum 5" when unit firing)
2. Make sure damper on top of unit isn't sticking
3. check vent length and #elbows versus installation manual specs
4. if above 2000', disconnect high elevation termination

If these all check out, you'll probably need to do a manifold adjustment. Call Noritz for assitance on this.

Filters always reduce pressure.
You can add a pressure tank between filter and tankless.
Tankless are sometimes like bowling on a ship.

What s de minimum working pressure for a tempra 24?

Hello. let me help you. The water pressure is what it is in the house. In other words, the tankless water heater doesn't increase the pressure of the water, it only heats the water. There is no official minimum pressure but the minimum pressure you would be happy with in any home would be 20 pounds per square inch, PSI.

Water Temperature Fluctuates

no the tub faucet is the only faucet that is wide open you might have to not run full blast on the faucet , your tankless water heater is under sized for the application, to many gallons per min going thru the unit, look at the rating chart for your unit, the r94 is only 9.4 gallons per min, and a tub faucet can be upto 5 gallons per min, depending on the faucet,,
