Standard tank type water heaters are big holding tanks which house from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will remain piping hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, though they occasionally have problems. Below are some commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing one should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple process and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but not rusty might be due to scale 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 from bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be due to a number of problems. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater could be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 could be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
