Thanks for posting this video. This fixed my issue. We had to turn the main water off to the house. When we turned it back on, the water heater wouldn't ignite. I drained the system, opened the hot valve, turned on a hot faucet, then quickly open the cold valve. The high-pressure kick-started the system. Thanks again

Thank you for sharing this- it got our hot water working again. I think the flow sensor gets stuck from minerals in our water.

Great idea! This got my Rinnai working again in just a few minutes. Hot showers are back!

I tried this method due to having the same issue and it still doesn't work. Did you have the system on when you were testing for the whir sound?

Thanks.....just the water flush on the empty system did the trick. You da man!

DO NOT BUY RINNAI!! Seven months after my first request Rinnai is FINALLY sending me some parts. They still haven't paid for the service call, covered under warranty. AND they say they won't pay for installation of parts because I used PAM to get my wheel spinning. The repair tech squirted 3 in 1 oil in there!!!! Cover their warranty = Not going to happen, too busy covering their ass. My Unit has done this 4 more times since I did this video, once just av few days ago...and always at an inconvenient time.

Thank you so much for this video! It helped us so much! Our Rinnai v65i which runs on propane, quit working mid use about a week ago. It gave no error codes and made no noise when the water was on. My husband tried troubleshooting by checking the fuse and looking online. With my advanced millennial UA-cam skills, I was able to find this video and show it to my apathetic, gen-X hubby. Cleaned the filter and the problem was solved!

When you had this issue does yours not sound like it is running at all? Mine stopped working this morning, and cannot hear it running at all. Assuming that the little propeller has stopped. ***Did the exact same fix to mine, and it worked like a charm. The spinner/propeller was stuck.

Thanks this helped me out!

You need a flow switch that's what senses the water. If it doesn't sense the water the heater I'll never come on

You’re the man! It works! Thank you!

Thanks

Is that Poly Pipe?

Nice information, thank you. Make it easier if you replace the black pipe with WellHose. No corrosion and easier to work with.

Lol cool dude

Nice video. But one thing. I would have used a stainless steel adapter (not brass like the one you used) to prevent corrosion. You may run into the same corrosion as you had before.

thanks for the laugh," I was a dentist". LMAO

Nice video, Gary. Have you considered WellHose DIY Drop Pipe? It is totally non-corrosive so no galvanic corrosion like you had. Also much easier to install and retrieve the pump than polypipe.

Nice tip on the plastic ties instead of the tape

I didn't read all the comments but didn't see anyone mention ph as an issue if your ph is low say 6 or less it will eat up copper or brass just like these fittings you have . you also would expect pin holes in your house copper if you have copper pipes? also bluish green stains showing up where water drips unless you have a water neutralizer for your house? and yes todays cheap import crap fitting rot out much sooner then the fitting of yester year made in the usa

brass and stainless together and a water mixture creates what we called galvanic corrosion

For all you guys living in a more moderate climate, you likely do not have a Pitless Adapter in your well. Pitless Adapters are needed to keep your water line below the frost line so it won't freeze. Most likely the water line just comes out the top of the well, thru a few elbows and back into the ground and to your house. Just disconnect the water pipe. loosen the water seal and pull out the pipe.

Very nice. Wondering why there is so much noise when you fly from one side of the house?

Nice video and recording!

Figured out what caused the vibration. While prepping for next flight I noticed on if the rubber isolation grommets had come out of its holder....easy fix.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing

What does the nylon rope attach to at the top of the well to prevent it from falling down into the well? But, great video!

Small bleed in current at the pump will electrolyze copper out of the brass, leaving seemingly random corrosion, erosion or whatever you choose to call it, always looks like new metal, just gone. Leaking current, voltage and pattern of micro circulation at the nipple are three elements that determine what you will see. As predictable as lightening.

Great install! Thanks for the guide! If anyone is still in need of help check out the video on my channel for a simple replacement guide! :D

Cathodic Protection will prevent the fitting from corrosion.

please were do attach the safety cable

Watched your vid - some good points/ some misleading - been installing for 10 yrs, electrician for 15yrs, the issue was correctly ID'd electrolysis & very poor quality brass fitting - remedy is to create an insulator from the water - high quality electrical tape, not found at hardware stores rather @ electrical wholesalers, wrapped @ the conn pt of the 2 dif metals. Also if you use the GOOD black tape it will stay attached, as for those nylon tie wraps will become brittle & break off which then can cause the wire to rub. That pitless is a "snappy"- common & a pain in the A**. Like other viewers commented be very cautious gravity works FAST & the weakest link always breaks or bleeds first!

I have seen that in brass fittings before actually any metal fitting. I use to have a large boat. Anytime you place an electrical anything in water you have electrolysis and that is what occurred with your fitting. You can avoid it by throwing some pennys in there or hang a anode (Zinc) so it deteriorates rather than your expensive equipment., sold by boating supplies or on amazon too, its cheap insurance, I can't see it any different then when a boat gets it. It occurs usually at the dock and everyone's boats are connected via land electric. Water is a great conductor. I'm putting in my pump today and glad I saw this because I had forgot completely about this and it can and will occur especially if any leaks whatsoever. It just keeps pinging off those metal parts making dents n holes, I think my major question to you is why are you having to pull this pump so many times? I want a one time thing and not mess with it for 10 plus years. Also the pump I have does not have this pittless thing . There is two eyelet type as part of the top of the pump to tie a rope or cable to

Sounds like (and looks like) you had an electrolysis issue... a reaction between the two types of dissimilar metals. Not sure of a solution other than making sure the fittings are the same type of metal... brass with brass or stainless with stainless...

were you going to make a custom mount to hold the CAMETV on your aircraft if you had gotten that one because they dont make a mount for it. and what do you think about this one. I am trying to buy this one or the CAMETV 7800.

Hey thanks for sharing this vid. I am very new to the gimbal game. I was looking into the CAME 7500 and this. I have a Canon 7D mkii and a Align 480l quad i might purchase a t2i or something a little lighter but what would you recommend for gimbal, i will only be using one camera with it will never really change it so once i get it balanced i would never really change it. Thanks a lot

FYI Update: Apparently the local pump/well installers in this area don't use torque arrestors anymore on 4" wells. They also carry stainless steel fittings now, which I used in my latest replacement (not mine, it is fine).

Hey Gary like your video, so i want make same gimbal but i cant find where i can buy pitch roll yaw shafts? like in video 9:12??? thanks!

hi there, helpful video thanks! i bought a s900 and im still for my A2, i already have a graupner mc22s and a ready online that it is better to conntect the receiver through the DBus adapter. why didnt you use it? is it safer fly with an adapter? cheers

I have Installed pumps for years and if you have watched this video be careful if you have this type of pitless. I have seen a few people missing fingers and hands do to the pump dropping once you pull on the cable, never wrap it around your hand. Also a rope will rot up over the years and ravel around the pump same with galvanized cable rusts up and falls, if it is in a liner you only have a 1/4 inch clearance around the pump and you will probably have to drill a new well. Torque arresters are great if installed properly. if you push it out to far it will go down fine but then when you try to take it back out its like a Chinese yoyo and will pull your liner as well and your well will more than likely bridge and you will not get the liner back in. Also if its 100 degrees out the poly if thin walled will stretch and break if not removed quick enough. I guess figure what a new well will cost you to have drilled and hooked up before you decide to do this kind of a install with poly pipe. Zip ties can cut into the wire. If you absolutely have to do this style of pump installation use black electrical tape to tape the wire to the pipe, also tape around the brass fitting to prevent the electrolysis which is very common in wells. No rope or galvanized cable, stainless steel would work or nothing at all is fine. Leave the torque arrester adjusted so sides do not rub in the pipe so you can pull it back out. Every year I get 5 or 6 calls to try and fish this type of install back out. about half are salvageable. Good Luck

nice job mate , where did you pick up the aluminium mounts?

Gary, how generous of you to make this video. What a big and useful internet that I'd find someone with the same camera and lens combination using Alexmos to post their PID values as a starting point for me to use. Thanks!

I am a professional well pump installer of 12 years experience in the state of Illinois. Stainless steel pipe is verry verry rare people get mixed up between stainless steel and galvanized steel pipe. I would have used brass or schedule 80 pvc. Not galvanized. I think you used brass. Correct? Anyways good job. But viewers beware there are many different types of pitiless adapters. Some have 11/4" receiver some could be set mutch deeper than the pump in this vidio. And may have a larger drop pipe which will be full of water and will be verry heavy. If you have 260' of 1"pipe.thats 1gallon water every 6' of pipe at 8.5 lbs.per gallon of water.+ the weight of the pipe wire pump. Its a lot of weight. Dont drop the pump. The well could be 350' deep.90' deeper than the pump setting. No fun to fish that out of there.

Wooow very good stabilization, I have the same gimbal with 32 Alexmos but still tuning. Is it possible to share your PID and settings (motor power, number of battery cells)?

Thanks for the video. I noticed that the fail safe doesn't activate when I turn off my MX-20. It only seems to work when I toggle the switch. Any idea of how to get the fail safe working incase there's power loss on the graupner?

Thanks brother, What size pipe is your "puller" ? My well company has charged me $500, $1000 and the last time $1,500, Done w/that !!!! Sorry just read 1 1/2" on dia. sounds big 'tho.

Thanks for your brief explanation of wiring gimbal. Good work. But I have two questions: 1) Where did you buy free rotation connector (focusing at 5:00 min of the video)? How can we search for it? 2) Where did you mount camera IMU ? Best Regards...

i have the same setup. A2, S900, MX-20. Is there a way to get more than 8 chanells working whitout the D-Bus Adapter? PPM ist limited to 8 CH on the A2

Thanks for the help Gary, I've been having the same issue with the pan axis and my gimbal is similar to the legacy one. It's a cinestar 3 axis converted to brushless gimbal. It works pretty good on the tilt and roll axis but the pan is just mon functional. The other thing I'm not liking is the fact that there's not enough power going to my motors. Any small tap to either axis makes it flop. I contacted Phobotic about that and the yaw axis and they mentioned allot of people are having this same issue and that they will be releasing new firmware that should help us all. I hope so, cuz I could really use this gimbal. Thank you once again

Thanks for posting these useful videos Gary. Im considering ordering this gimbal for my Phobotic Centerpiece board.
