    What is an eco error on a hot water heater?
    I have a Rheem hot water heater. Model PVP50F, it has the hooded vent/motor and electric starter/pilot lighter. The starter is displaying an Eco Error message. 4 flashes a second pause and 2 flashes.

    Is there a way to reset or is there a way to manually light the Pilot?

    I can't seem to find a manual for that model. Are you sure it's correct?

    Hi GD...

    If the installation manual is not on the side of the unit (usually is) then you will want to contact RUUD/RHEEM manufacturer directly at:

    www.ruud.com

    Click on CONACT at the top. They should be able to email you an installation/troubleshooting manual pretty quick off.

    Let us know how you made out...
