Water heater frequently shuts off when other taps or appliances are used, causing temperature drops.

Possible Causes

Shared supply line with other high‑demand fixtures, Undersized plumbing, Partially closed isolation valve, Clogged inlet filter

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Comfort issue: This is usually a hydraulic problem rather than an internal heater fault.

  • 1. Check inlet valves:
    • Ensure the cold water isolation valve to the heater is fully open.
  • 2. Clean inlet filter: Remove and clean the inlet filter screen.
  • 3. Avoid simultaneous high demand:
    • Limit use of other large water consumers (washing machine, garden hose) while showering.
  • 4. Consult a plumber: If pressure drops significantly when other fixtures run, upgrading the supply line or installing a pressure‑balancing system may be necessary.
