Standard tank models of water heaters are big storage tanks which store 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, though they sometimes have issues. Below are some common issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it could extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty might be caused by scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria build up inside the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be caused by a few different issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater could be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 broken, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Strange sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent type of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, are more cost efficient to run and usually have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive up front. They need tremendously less space and never run out of hot water, but in the beginning can require some extra gadgets and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
