          Check the gas rate. Instant heat boilers rely on minimum 80,000Btu to give temperature rise of say 35 degrees Centigrade at 9 litres a minute. Poor supply of gas would give the symptoms that you speak of

              How does one go about checking the gas rate into their water heater?? I have a similar (not exact) problem.

              Thanks
