Anyone have any input about water tank heater and piezo ignitor?

Water Heaters — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 00:20:06 +0000

Our water tank heater has stopped working for a few weeks now. It seems the flame has gone out. We tried reigniting the light but it doesn’t seem to work. When we called PG&E to check it out, they said that we needed a new piezo ignitor. After finally getting a hold of one and replacing it, nothing else happened. It doesn’t seem to make a spark. Any troubleshoot ideas before we have to contact a professional (which will be costly obviously)? Anyone experience the same?

Thanks in advance.

Hot water heater element replacement help…?

Water Heaters — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:37:17 +0000

I have a 60 Gallon Giant electric hot water heater. The bottom element has burnt out. I tried to replace it this past weekend, but ran into a snag when I tried to remove the old element. Basically, the element looks to be held into place by 4 large bolts (which are easily removable), but I ran into trouble when I tried to remove it because it won’t budge! It looks like a steel plate, with a plastic rectangular piece on the front of it where the hot wire connectors attach.
I thought that I could simply pull this piece out and the element would be attached to it, but it won’t move and I don’t want to apply too much pressure to it for fear of breaking it. The tank is only 3 years old, but of course, I can’t find the receipt for it so the warranty is no good
Does anyone have any experience with replacing these elements? Do I need a special tool to reef the old one out of there? The manual is of no help of course because it just says ‘remove element’…
Thanks in advance!

How loud is a Noritz tankless water heater?

Water Heaters — Sat, 15 May 2010 10:25:57 +0000

My plumber has warned me that the motor on the Noritz tankless water heater makes a noise when it’s running. Can anyone compare the volume to a common household item? Is it similar to the fan on a computer? An electric can opener? I’m not super-sensitive to noise, but I don’t want it to sound like we’re drilling for oil every time someone washes their hands.

Thanks in advance.

I would like to install this kind of direct water heater:

In the basement, my nearest outside wall is 20 ft away, and after I get out of the outside wall, what kind of clearance do i have to have from any openings such as windows , doors etc.
The material I thought i am supposed to use is "636" in Canada. is that the right material? What advantages and disadvantages are there between chimeney vs. sidewall venting?
Thanks in advance!

instantaneous gas hot water system – water goes hot and cold?

Water Heaters — Sun, 02 May 2010 04:48:52 +0000

We moved house and have an instantaneous gas hot water system. Since we have been in the house we have not had a shower without having the water go freezing cold or burning hot at least 3 times. The water only stays at a nice temperature for a minute or two at a time. Nothing we have tried has made any difference. We don’t have any other appliances on at the same time either. The system only looks less than 10 years old. Any ideas, or anyone have the same problem? Perhaps this is what comes with having an instantaneous water heater?? We haven’t had a plumber look at it yet, or had it serviced.

Thanks in advance.

What is wrong with my hot water heater?

Water Heaters — Sun, 02 May 2010 02:54:10 +0000

I have a 2 story house with 1 water heater. It’s always been slow getting hot water upstairs, usually around 60-90 seconds. Now, there is no hot water getting upstairs. I’ve checked my gas line to the heater, no problem there. I’ve drained and refilled it. Hot water is getting to my sinks downstairs, the dishwasher and the washing machine, but not even a drop of warm water will reach upstairs anymore. It is a Rheem 40 gallon heater made in 1991. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I guess I need to explain it a little bit more. My house is 10 years old, so the pipes are copper. It is a gas water heater, so elements aren’t the problem.. Another thing, like I said the water downstairs gets hot, it’s upstairs where I have the problem and if it is the pipe between downstairs and upstairs, I have no clue how to get to them to clean them out since they’re all behind walls.
If there is a clogged pipe, shouldn’t NO water at all come through when I turn the hot water knob?

Is it possible to use a tankless hot water heater with a hot tub?

Water Heaters — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 02:56:05 +0000

The heater in our hot tub is not working. We would like to put in a natural gas dedicated hot water heater and wonder if a "tankless" model would work by just recycling the water? It would be a lot cheaper than buying a new hot tub heater. Plumbing not a problem…just don’t know if this would work. Thanks in advance.
