Standard tank type water heaters are large holding tanks which house from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will stay piping hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, however they sometimes have issues. Below are a few commonly occurring 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 fuse. The first thing you should check is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check 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 this remains unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated job and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but not rusty is likely caused from scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria build up inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be from a few issues. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater might be from 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 may be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Weird noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
If you have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
