The primary purpose of having a water heater is to have hot water; when it does not produce hot water, what is the worth of a water heater? The most widespread problem with water heaters is the temperature, and they are not producing hot water, so what is the solution for such a problem? It depends on the type of the water heater, whether it is a tank water heater or a tankless water heater.
First, check the power supply for the water heater if it is electric powered or the gas supply in case of the gas water heater. The water heater may not be working so that it doesn’t produce hot water. Did you check it, and it is on, but there is no hot water? Then let’s go deeper. Going deeper requires a technician because the lack of experience may lead to bigger problems.
What else can be considered as a common water heater problem?
When opening a faucet or adjusting the water before taking a shower, you may smell an unpleasant odour coming from the water, or the water is discoloured. First, you need to check the water supplier if you have a personal water well or the governmental authority. Also, filters can be a possible cause for that discoloured water and stinky smell, check the water filters, and it’s better to change them.
It is neither the water source nor the filters; what now?
It is time to check the water heater, especially the tank water heater. The tank where the hot water is stored may be full of rust and high level of minerals that affect the quality of the water. Keep in mind that thinking about the tankless water heater doesn’t have the same problem is a wrong belief. The pipes that heat the water can also get rusted and filled with minerals like the tank water heater.
It is worth mentioning that hiring a professional plumber is needed for all cases related to water heaters because the water heater mixes between two different compounds, one of them is water, and the other is electricity or gas. The professional water heater technician can excellently handle the water heater to maintain safety and high performance.
