By exercising do you mean turn in full hot then full low then back to where it was - just to leep the seal from freezing?

Yes, I turn the valve to the stop in both directions & return to the set point. I will do it a couple of times. It may be stiff when you start.

The valve knob is facing away from the service side so it's impossible to see any markings on the valve. Make an indexing mark on the knob before you start. If it's stuck, be careful of using a wrench on the knob. If you wring off the plastic knob, it becomes a problem. If it's really stuck, the best thing to do is take the valve itself out of the housing which is soldered into the plumbing. Once it's out, it's much easer to get it freed up.

This shouldn't be an issue for you with a new coach but might be good info for someone else reading this.

Thanks for the info. When I tore into the Aqua Hot in Sept. and changed the nozzle and filter things did not look too bad at all. Photo disc and combustion chamber needed very little cleaning and that was after 16 months. Will keep an eye on it though.

Probably the bio-diesel!!! Burns sooooo clean that its worth $.50/gal more than gas (with less refining).

I feel so much "greener" when burning the biodiesel ! It makes me feel better about the dinosaurs that didn't perish to help me fuel my vehicle.

On the Entegra, I can crawl in from behind the AquaHot and see the valve.
