About a year ago, my buddy and I had some major troubles with the moderate water heater.
After feeding the kids supper, I began to fill the sink in order to disinfect dishes.
I noticed that the water coming from the faucet was so moderate that it created steam. I decided to check the water heating system plus water pump in the basement. As soon as I started down the stairs, I heard what sounded like running water. I then saw that the basement was flooded. Extremely moderate water was pouring out of the water heater. I instantly shut off the water to the entire home plus contacted a licensed local plumber. The plumber promised to come by the home once he’d completed his jobs for the afternoon. This left us separate from water for more than six hours. My buddy and I couldn’t flush the toilets, disinfect our hands, take a shower or do laundry. I was unable to disinfect the dirty dishes leftover from supper. When the plumber arrived, he confirmed that the water heating system had ruptures. It took him about an hour to install a brand new water heater. For several afternoons, the new water heating system worked perfectly. However, the water gradually turned black plus developed a actually unpleasant smell. I googled the problem plus learned that the cause was the anode rod. This rod is installed into water furnaces to attract minerals such as calcium plus rust. It prevents the minerals from getting into the water. The hardness of our water overwhelmed the anode rod. It was certainly contaminating our water supply, however removing the anode rod negates the manufacturer’s warranty of the water heater, however unluckyly, I had no choice.
