What Are The Common Water Heater Problems and How Can Installing A New Water Heater Help Resolve This

If you are planning to purchase a new water heater, the Rubine RWH-1388B Instant Water Heater is an option to look out for. This instant water heater uses a UK technology heating element that guarantees you get hot water quickly and with no fail.

Burning Hot Water Is Coming Out

Do you feel like you could be scalded by the hot water coming out of your water heater? The temperature of the instant water heater and pressure settings need to be examined and adjusted to prevent this. It could also be caused by a pressure valve that was installed incorrectly or even by a defective component, in which case consulting a professional would be necessary. 

You may also consider purchasing a brand new water heater. The 707 Queenston Instant Water Heater with Rain Shower can be a good option. This instant water heater is equipped with a multi-level anti-scald safety system, which stops heating when the water temperature reaches a scalding level. It ensures safety and protection from unwanted injuries caused by too much hot water.

Water Heater Is Leaking 

Leakage can be caused by too much pressure, poor plumbing, or corrosion. If so, the problems can be fixed by adjusting the pressure, correcting the plumbing valve, replacing the corroded part, and lowering the thermostat settings. 

However, resolving these issues can prove to be more expensive and it may be time consuming trying to figure out which parts need to be adjusted, fixed, or replaced. It is best to buy a brand new water heater from the best-selling water heater brands instead.

Water Heater is Making Noises

If your instant water heater is producing an unusual and rumbling sound whenever it is in use, the reason behind it can be due to a scale substance building up on the heating element. This indicates that a specific element needs to be changed or a sign that installing a new water heater is needed.

Discoloured Water Is Coming Out

When you start to see any colours in the water supply, it may be a sign that the anode of the water heater is corroding or broken. This often means that your water heater has to be replaced with a brand new water heater. 

Storage Water Heater

Water Heater Is Leaking 

A leak from the top or bottom of an electric storage water heater could be the result of condensation, an overflowed pipe from too much pressure, or loose piping. In this case, installing a new water heater such as the Rheem EHG 50 Electric Storage Water Heater can be a better approach to resolve the water heater leaking issue. Its pressure relief valve with built-in check valve helps to prevent excessive pressure in the inner tank. This feature helps avoid water heater leaks.

There Is No Hot Water

There are typically three possible reasons why there would be no hot water supply, which could be caused by a loss of electric power and in which you might wish to check the circuit breaker or if the heating element needs to be replaced because it has failed. This might also happen if the water becomes extremely hot and hits the limit switch, requiring to install a new water heater.

Burning Hot Water Is Coming Out

This is commonly caused by an excessively high thermostat setting or by a broken thermostat that has to be replaced. You can check if the thermostat is too high and adjust it as needed. It is recommended to install a new water heater if nothing has changed following the adjustment.

Water Pressure Is Low

One of the common reasons for low hot water pressure is a water heater leak and sediment buildup in the plumbing lines. Additionally, small pipes could obstruct water flow and lower output pressure. To raise the pressure, you might want to replace the pipe with larger plumbing. Alternatively, you could opt to install a new water heater and refer to a storage water heater buying guide. This can help you make an informed decision with your purchase.

Water Heater is Making Noises

It is possible that a buildup of sediments in the tank will cause strange noises rumbling or slamming inside the tank. Water leaks, high pressure, and pipe expansion and contraction are also possible causes. Consider purchasing a new water heater and ensure to keep an eye out on the features to look out for in a brand new water heater.

Dirty Water Is Produced

This indicates that your water heater has to be replaced before the problem worsens because the anode rod or the tank may be corroded. A tank flushing procedure may be used to address the issue of having discoloured water caused by sediment buildup.

Installing the Ariston Pro R Slim 80L Storage Water Heater can help solve this problem as its large anti corrosion magnesium anode prevents dirty water from accumulating in your water heater. It also has a high-efficiency insulation material and an exclusive enamelled tank protection, ensuring its quality and effectiveness.

The Water Coming Out Has Foul Smell

While both unclean water and odorous water are caused by various factors, there is a distinction between the two. When bacteria in the water heater tank develop and release a bad smell, it might result in odorous water. To completely eliminate the odour, the tank would require regular chemical treatment and flushing. In order to avoid any hassles from resolving an odour coming from the water heater, installing a new water heater is highly recommended.
