Fault 4: it is difficult to adjust the temperature, and the water temperature often changes
Cause: the pressure difference between cold and hot water is too large, or the ability of water heater to improve water temperature is not enough
Methods: turn down the hot and cold triangle valve of the water heater (turn counterclockwise) to balance the pressure and ensure that the water temperature of the water heater can keep up with the water outlet speed
Fault 5: unable to obtain higher water temperature
Cause: the power of water heater is insufficient and the position of temperature control knob is wrong
