So if a fitting is leaking, wouldn't that also drop the pressure on the gauge?

When my water heater was brand new I put in a ball valve with a hose connection after removing that cheap one it came with. Makes it simple to use.

Can you tell me why hot water is coming out the heater from one of the plastic hole that doesn't have anything connected on the top ??

the pressure relief valve prevents the tank from becoming a bomb when pressure builds up, its not just bad for the tank, its dangerous without one

I really liked the last tip to see if gauge drops with the valve closed which would mean the hot water would be leaking out from the water heater....👍 I live in Miami and there is no reason to have very hot hot water, so for many years I keep my electric water heater set to warm....thats is fine for a shower doen here....my water heater has lasted since 2003 and no issues yet, was the warm setting I put can that explain why its lasted so long I also live alone....just wondering...the reason I am watching these videos now as I am sure soon I might have to replace it....

So I see a line where water is leaking out from a panel I open up it has insulation in it and wires directly under is a valve but when I open the panel all the white insulation is wet I'm assuming that is not good

Hey Brother, the return line (not cold line) has heavy sediment but it's bone dry, there is water on the base of the shelf the heater sits on (no tray) so the leak must be coming from the bottom of the tank. It's clearly a small leak as the puddle is very small. Can you hire a plumber to weld a small leak? I know replacement would be best but storms here just took down our fence, both expenses in a month would be tough for us. Thanks much

Not possible to weld a leak in the hot water tank. There’s an inner and an outer tank which would mean it’s a crack on the inner tank causing the leak. Would basically need to disassemble the tank to find the exact spot that’s cracked and even then I don’t know if it would be possible. You’re gonna have to replace the tank

What to do if you have water built up in the little pan on the top of water heater and water in pan under water heater and water heater isn’t heating? Help!

My water heater has a rusted hole at the very top edge of outer skin right below the top cap. Dripping water out but not too much. What happened here. Only a few years old

How long does the water supply line last?

I have had a slow dribble coming from my discharge pipe for a little while now. I have had both the thermal expansion tank and the pressure reducing valve changed (both had gone bad) and I am still getting the slow dribble from the discharge pipe. It lets some out about every hour or so, and that is whether I have use any hot water or not. Short of getting a new pressure release valve, I don't know what else to do to remedy that

I had a similar problem, and it had to do with the city changing some of the waterline so the pressure was much higher, and I ended up having to install a pressure regulator valve near the water main where it came into the house. ... I don't know if you were Urban or rural but if you live with a Municipal Water Supply you can ask the water company to come out and test the pressure. They will tell you the pressure that's going from the meter into your house. And then you can buy like a 10 or $20 pressure testing valve yourself to keep for your end of the line, if in fact, you either need a pressure regulator, or perhaps need to replace yours if you already have one. They don't last forever.

Hi guys. Hoping I can get some help. My water heater tank is working for the most part. It pushes out very hot water. But after about 10-15 minutes consistent flow, the water goes cold. Is this normal? I have almost no knowledge of how these things work. Hope someone can guide me. Thank you in advance.

this is what i have. installed three in my life - 2 gas one electric so I have some experience. this one is gas. I replaced this one with my own hands due to Sandy in 2012. Basement in NJ. all is copper. sharkbite cold. sweated hot out. sharkbites cold are in great shape. for the hot out, I have the niple, the copper threaded adapter, 4 inches of 3/4 pipe straight up and a 90. the seams of the 90 are leaking. green and corroded. after the 90, i have 1 foot of 3/4 and another 90. again 90 green corrosion and leaking. must be due to moisture in basement and 12 years lol. I want to hacksaw the pipe before the first 90. I want to sandpaper the 4 inch piece due to deposits and then sharkbite 90. after want to use use copper pipe and sharkbite 90 if i need to use a small sharkbite connector after the second 90 so be it. how do i deal with the hot water? good shut off on the cold water side. good ball valve. can shut building off if need to. I am comfortable with the the repair but not with the hot water. How do i repair an active gas hot water heater? thank you.

Yes, shut the valve off above the water heater. Then only use cold water, just make sure you don’t use single control faucets, because the cold water will cross over into the hot side causing a continuous leak at the heater.

If its coming from the hose, replace the hose. If it's from the valve, where you screw the hose/pipe in, then replace the valve. You'll have to have a pipe wrench to unscrew it and take it to store to get a new one also buy thread tape to put on the threads before installing the new one. Make sure your tank is drained and turned off, no power going to it before working on it.
