Several years back I set up a small tent with a carbon filter in my furnace and utility room. Never did I considered any possible long term effects to my water heater. That is until it kept flaming out and after extensive troubleshooting, I discovered the small secondary inlet screen on the bottom of the heater was all gummed up with terpenes. Who'd of thought? Yes it's not vented outdoors and yes, I regularly change out my carbon filter, but who'd of ever thought this could become an issue!
I should have vented it outdoors years ago, but without a window, it's not an easy task. Looks like I've got some work ahead of me this weekend!
