Aqua Hot

I have a 2003 Monaco Exec 40 ft. The Aqua hot was not warming the living area or the bathroom, the bedroom was toasty warm. Took it in and they found one leaking pump out of 3 pumps. They replaced it and put antifreeze( about 8 gallons)back in. The aqua hot fires up and gets hot, problem is the living area and bathroom are still cold. any ideas what is going on????

A paper clip comes in handy to keep papers together. AND, to reset your Aqua Hot system if it's needed. There might be people who didn't know about the reset button but they do now 😛

reason is He never fully explained things to the person so I took the reply and clarified it further :: because some replys like one that infered a paper clip would fix the problem that the OP was explaining and thats just 100% incorrect so wanted to make sure everyone clearly understands the system as its obvious not everyone really does
many thanks for your concerns about double posting
I also do find that annoying although two is acceptable but the 4+5 times you see is rather annoying for sure

I'm confused - I thought these were hot water pumped radiant systems but now I'm seeing comments about fans. Are there fans in each zone that blow air out of registers? I had been picturing in-floor radiant systems like I see in houses.


as doug has told you these are heat exchangers with 12V mini fans blowing air through the fins of the heat exchangers
the hot antifreeze is pumped though lines and through the heat exchangers


And, why would you have to repeat what Doug said? I think you have been here before.:p

The radiators have 2 muffin fans that blow the warm air out into the coach. The radiators are recessed under and behind cabinets and would be very hard to "radiate" the heat thruout the RV. Doug

Thanks everyone. They did get the bathroom zone working, so now it is just the living area blowing cold air. They think it is the pump, so the new one should be here Monday. Hopefully that will fix it!!!
