Standard tank models of water heaters are large storage tanks which contain up to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, however they sometimes have problems. Below are a few common issues 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 first thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion can cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty is likely caused from scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused from bacteria which has amassed in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be due to a number of problems. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater may be due to 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 clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently occur 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. 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 may be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank counterparts, are more cost efficient to run and tend to have a longer life, but are more expensive initially. They need tremendously less space and never run out of hot water, but at the start can require some extra equipment and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.
