Standard tank type water heaters are large storage tanks which store 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to help make sure your water will remain piping hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are usually dependable, however they can have issues. Below are a few commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing one should check is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty may be caused by scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria build up in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might 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 above the water heater might be caused by 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 might be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you have a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
