Standard tank models of water heaters are big holding tanks which store 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to help make sure your water will remain nice and hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, though they can have issues. Below are some commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple process and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty might be caused by calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be caused by a few different problems. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube may be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you experience a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
