Standard tank models of water heaters are big storage tanks which hold between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, however they sometimes have issues. Below are some common issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing you should check is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but does not contain rust could be caused by scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused by bacteria growth in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be from a few issues. It could be caused by 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 could be caused by 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 might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you experience a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
