Hydro-hot float, again!

[bob_b]

So we are on a trip in Idaho, it's raining and cold but we feel warm and cozy parked and hooked up. The heater and Hydro-hot shuts off! Argh, what now? I check the board and see a message that the coolant is low, but it isn't. Long story shortened, a cold trip with no hot water, get home, take apart the Hydro-hot and find the float has fallen apart, again! It was just four years ago when the same fault occurred. The new float is $175 plus $25 shipping. Unacceptable but what can you do? I think I'll try to strengthen the new one when it arrives.

Older ones were plastic/nylon type. Doug

You must have a Aqua Hot over 20 years old. Current fluid level sensors are NOT a float, there are a pin type that is inserted into the fluid chamber. Have you contacted Vehicle Systems to see if you can use the current fluid level sensor? Doug

Are these the plastic or brass floats.
