Standard tank type water heaters are large holding tanks which contain from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will stay nice and hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, however they occasionally have problems. These are a few commonly occurring 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 initial thing one should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but isn't rusty is likely caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused by bacteria which has amassed in the water heater.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be from a few issues. 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 above the water heater could 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 clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently occur 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 noises are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
