The dual 120 electric Heat Element Aqua Hot units, "usually" WILL supply enough on demand hot water. That is why the larger units have the 2 Heat elements. But, the systems are designed to use the Diesel burner when the 120 or demand cannot keep up. If your Diesel burner comes ON, it is because it needs to for your demand. This is the operating for your system. You cannot change the parameters. Doug
Using the Domestic Water Heating System
When the Aqua-Hot is at operating temperature, the domestic
water is automatically heated as it is being used. Because the
Aqua-Hot does not store any hot water, simply open any hot
water faucet, and a continuous supply of domestic hot water will
be present within a few seconds. This hot water feature is continuous
and is accomplished by the Aqua-Hot’s domestic water
heating system. The diesel-burner switch on the interior switch
panel must be ON in order to obtain a continuous supply of hot
water (e.g., during showers); be sure to also activate the electric
element switch, and place the “high/low” switch on HIGH for
maximum hot water capacity.
