My Rheem is producing knocking sound. What does that mean? has no maintenance at all since we got it installed except at one time, did manual emptying of the sediment only twice since we had it.
Mfg date: 8/2006 has been giving good hot water. One floor unit house Do I need to change my water heater or maintenance only. Please advise whatI need to do.

We have a Rheem Guardian Fury Model # D RP60-51F.
We rent it. Just wondering what the R value of the tank is and whether or not it is cost effective to purchase an insulating blanket for it?

I am finally replacing a Rheemglas Fury Energy Miser water heater Model 22G-40-6. It’s still working perfectly, but I’m getting nervous because it’s so old. I have no idea how long it’s been here, but I bought the house 20 years ago and it was here then. I wish I knew when Rheem was making this model. I gotta tell ya…. they make one incredible water heater! I hope

I have a four year old Rheem model 22V40-36F1. Going back a few months, I noticed that the water was not as hot as it used to be. A technician we contacted said sometimes the calibration get off, and he suggested turning up the temperature setting. So we went from A to between A and B, then to B, then to between B and C. We are running out of letters. My fear is that the thermostadt is going bad. Is that something I can replace if the part is covered under warrantee?

Thanks.

I have two Rheem Water Heaters model 21V40-38 and the one with the main intake water line is leaking water from the top intake and the top drain relief valve. What are my options?

In reply to Patricia. You will need to adjust the gas burner control module from low to hot or desired heat temperature. Remember it takes time for this to react. If you have small children make sure it is not too hot to where it is unsafe.

I have a Reheem Fury Engery Efficent Gas Water Heater Model 21V40-38 installed in new home in 2000. I do not have hot water pressure upstairs. The cold water rushes out, but once the handle for Hot is turned on, I get just a dribble. Hard to take a shower or run dishwasher. We have drained tank to see if any sediment was in it and it wasn’t. Can you advise what else we might look for.
