Standard tank type water heaters are big storage tanks which hold up to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will stay nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, however they sometimes have issues. Below are some commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty may be caused from scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused by bacteria build up inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be due to a few different problems. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion 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 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 could be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent drop in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.

They are more power efficient than their tank counterparts, are more economical to run and generally have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive to purchase.
