My Hot Water Heater sounds like war drums when it it running..?
Dec 06, 2006 by Laura | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
When the tank is refilling and heating the water, there are thumps, bumps, pops and sorta sounds like a gurgling... reminds me of the sound of water about to boil on a stove. Does this mean it is going bad? I have released the urgency valve on top and
there are deposits that have formed and are expanding and contracting, thus making popping noises. Maybe you could directly it, but I think it's hardened inside and may be time for a replacement.

You may have released the insist upon from the bottom by opening the valve but, picture an inverted cone, that's what it probably looks like at the bottom of your tank.
Tell on a turn to the tank off, open the bottom to drain it but turn the top water inlet

my gas hot water heater is leaking out of a no hole in the top (a manufactured hole, not a worn hole) anyway, I drained it and there are no sediments or anything like that no blockage, it drained acute, so my question or questions I should say, are Whats
Baulk that manufactured hole. If its really a made hole then it may be something that can be repaired. On the tank less unit. The " Crusher " is established about the costing and in all cases I know of you have to be licensed by the manufacture

heater is ~10 yrs old I moved in the dwelling-place 1 yr ago and drained the tank water looked ok the cold and hot water pipes where backwards so I corrected that now after one shower or if a tub of water is run it is about 1 hr before hot water returns
get a new tank. the Siberian side has a tube that runs to the bottom of the tank so the coldest water is nearest to the heating source
i recommendc switching the lines back around if you are having this muddle and want to keep your existing tank,
