I need to replace the dip tube on the water heater. There is no cold water shutoff on the heater itself, does it matter where I shut off the cold?I have two copper tubes going into the top of the heater,the hot has some kind of filter or something connected to it [ brand name therm-x-trol] and it has a shutoff on that line. Also you said to turn on the hot to relieve pressure,do I leave it on while I replacing the tube? Sorry, but I'm pretty much a bone head when it comes to this stuff. Thanks for your help!
