Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the
internet the simplest factor to consider of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as folks consider issues that they plainly don’t understand about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and also outlined out the whole thing without having side-effects
, other folks could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.

how do I find and remove electrolyst (sorry don’t know how to spell it)rod. It causes us to have bad smell in water. I appreciate any help leading me to the correction of the problem. I understand this rod helps to keep heater working better for longer ut I would rather replace heater than deal with smell

I have no hot water all of a sudden, tried reset button and breaker, no luck. I have 2 heating elements on my tank, how do I know which one to replace? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated as my husband works over the road and won’t be home for another 4 weeks so I’m doing this all on my own. Thank you

I began the process of changing the elements on my water heater but found out I only have one element on my electric heater not two.
There is an access panel and a plug, that looks like an element plug with out the wires or thermostat, on the upper part of the water heater.

Is there anyway to convert that plug to one that actually contains a heated element? It obviously would take some re-wiring.

Is it worth it?
P.S. – up until recently I have not noticed an issue with two little hot water.

I have a feeling I have fried my elements also. I tried the reset button and that didn’t work. I didn’t see the access panel for the element. Is that usually under the reset button?

In reply to Linda. You know your water heater is full when you have a steady stream of water coming out of your cold water taps. Make sure when filling the tank back up after replacing your heating elements, that you turn on all your cold water faucets to purge any air from the lines.

It is possible your tank is leaking. You can try replacing the heating element(s). You can go to your local hardware store, lowes, home depot ect and the cost is around 10.00. Well water is number one reason for Premature tank failure. Harder water can be very corrosive on the water heater and component parts. Make sure you drain and flush out your water heater 2 times yearly.
