The hot water pressure in my entire house is low... prior to this morning the pressure was fine... now I'm not sure what to do... any ideas, before I call the plumber?

HELP

Try the nearest hot water faucet and tell me if the pressure's any greater?
Let me know and we'll go to step # 2.

Couple of things to check.

Do you have a water softener(this only applies if only the hot water is softened). If so, put the softener on bypass and see if pressure is better.

Next, the nipples or delectric unions on top of the water heater may be plugged. In this case, replace them and you should be back in business. Please keep us posted as to what you find. And come on back for any further assistance. Lee.

- the pressure remains the same
- do not use water Softerner

The pressure remains the same

That leads me you to suspect that you have heat trap nipples,(see image) installed and one has gone bad. Do you have such nipples installed? Let me know, Tom
