weil mclain tankless hot water issue
My hot water pressure has dropped to a dribble. I've checked the mixing valve and didn't find anything surprising. Removed the plunger & reinstalled the temp adjust cap. Nothing changed.
Wondering if the hot water heater core (insert) is clogged and if you can service any part of it. It has sweat joints, (fun) for all connections... So before I break any connections I wanted to understand if there is something else I can do first.
Or is there a way I can validate if the mixing valve is okay.

The internal walls of the coil are probably blocking up. There are chemicals you can run through it to clean it but disposing of them are expensive. It is best to either eliminate the coil and go cold start boiler and an indirect water heater or to a stand alone type water heater.

I replaced the core and now have hot water (Yea!!) an a couple dribble leaks (never could sweat a joint worth an darn)..
Now I have another issue that I'll post on a new topic...
Thanks for your kind assistance.

It could be some clogged on the pipes. So check the pipe lines if they were working properly and if it still not work for you then do a research online there are good sites which will guide you in fixing and repairing problem like yours.
