Standard tank type water heaters are big storage tanks which store from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will continue to be nice and hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, however they can have issues. These are a few common issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at 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 this remains untreated, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated procedure and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but isn't rusty might be caused by scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be from a few different problems. It could be related to 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 from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
