It was only purchased last year, and is a Hamilton Beach unit that offers cold or hot water. The light is red for the hot water, and doesn’t come on at all anymore. Thanks in advance..
I’ve heard people say that drinking hot water is better for you than drinking cold water because the hot water cleanses your body. But how is that possible? Because I would think that whatever you drink would become the same temperature as your stomach once it gets there. It’s not like that ice cold water is going to go all through your veins.
I just moved into a new construction and it has a new water heater. When I turned on the hot water faucet to let the water pour just a little bit, it runs fine with a small steady stream. The second I turn the faucet more, the water will begin to pour sporadically like its choking and the faucet will shake. Are you suppose to break in a new water heater?
I’ve replaced most of my hot water piping with 3/4 inch pvc. I took the hot and cold stems of the shower and had awesome pressure. Put new stems in and got no pressure. The interesting thing is that the cold water pressure is great everywhere except the shower and the hot water pressure is non-existent everywhere. The water heater has been drained and is 2 years old. One last detail is in the shower when you put the hot and cold water on there is no difference if you just had the hot on.
I just bought and got a PUR dispenser. It says that I need to change the filter once every 6 weeks…and that would be on Feb 14. But right now it is not filtering. Why isn’t it filtering? I never use hot water with it. Is it possible my water is actually SO "dirty" that the filter is gone already. It doesn’t have the little light on it to tell me. Is there some way I can check it or should I just take it apart and run some cold water through it?
I attempted to turn off the valves under the sink so I could install a new faucet but the hot water valve handle broke off. The cold water side is fine. I turned off the water on the outside of the house which seems to have worked except for the broken hot water valve. Hot water is constantly running. How do I get it to stop?
cold water weights more than hot water
I am not using hot water. Just mildly warm to get the chill out. I have a Tomato plant I am experimenting with and have been taking it in the garage during freezes and am wondering if using warm water is ok or will it kill it?
We live in North Florida so the weather is cold during the evenings but warms up to the 60’s during the day.
Thanks!
If the main water is shut off, what happens to the water heater? No one will be using the hot water anytime soon.
I have a electric mobile home water heater that is leaking at fitting where the hot water connects. The connection is on the side 2 inches from the top. The connection is plastic a friend told me to put some plumber putty around the connection.
I was reading on the container of the plumbers putty and it stated not to use on plastic.
I have seen the spray foam but did not know if I could use this because of the hot water temp being 120 degrees.
Any Ideals the water heater is only a year old and I hate to replace it. The water heater was not purchaced by me so I doubt warrenty would be good.
The valve is operational, the hot water works fine, what’s the deal?
Our Oster Water dispenser, model SA12587 has stopped getting cold. The hot water still works fine. Is this something I can fix, or should I just buy a new one, it’s not that old, but beyond warranty.
In some countries, hot water is generated in houses by heating large cylinders of water. Quite often, this is done late at night when demand for electricity is low, called off peak heating. The cylinders are connected to the main water supply and so operate at main pressure. But how do they manage to keep the hot water from being diluted by cold water when a hot tap is opened?
Every Water filter i have owned say not to run hot water through the filter. I am wondering why and also if it happens briefly once do I need a new filter
I feel so dumb. I turned off both the cold & hot water to see if it would shut the water off outside (didn’t). But when I turned it back on, no water comes out of the tap on the hot side (kitchen & bathroom!). I keep fiddling with both, along with the valve - it comes on, but doesn’t stay on. Help!
I turned both hot and cold off where they go into the water heater. Cold comes out of faucets just fine. Its the hot I’m having trouble with. When I turn the hot side on at the faucets (all in house), no water at all comes out. Then I fiddle with the hot and cold at the water heater, and hot will come out of the faucet, but only for about 30 seconds-then no water. I’ve also moved the valve lever back and forth (burping?) that is on the cold water supply into the heater.
