Hot Tips to Keep Your Water Heater Happy
Check for Leaking Faucets
Leaky faucets can waste many gallons of hot water a month and put a drain (pun intended) on your water heater. If you would like to repair the leaking faucet yourself, you first need to know what type of faucet you have. Once you know the type of faucet you have, you will find that this is where YouTube comes in handy. If you have a cartridge type faucet, you might want to watch this video from Ask This Old House. If you have a compression washer type of faucet, Ask This Old House comes to the rescue again. Finally, if you have a ball-type faucet, here’s another helpful video.
I ask you…what would we do without the amazing Richard Trethewey?!).
Change to Low Flow Shower Heads
Older shower heads can use a wasteful 6 to 10 gallons of hot water per minute!! Fortunately, shower heads today are better at saving your water heater by being able to provide a comfortable shower with only 2.2 gallons of water a minute, therefore, if you still have an older shower head, consider changing to a low flow shower head and save hot water AND unnecessary wear and tear on your water heater.
If you have any questions on how you can help extend the health and life of your water heater, give us a call at 800-464-6892 or email us at info@hotwater911.com. Water heaters are what we do at Hot Water 911 and we are always happy to help you.
