When I turn my hot water faucets on I have no water coming in at all, but I have hot water in the hot water tank.

Wondering why I have no water entering my hot water tank

If I had to guess I would say that you haven't maintained your heater by flushing on a regular schedule and the minerals built up in the heater has got into your hot water pipes and is now clogging the hot water iunlets of your faucets. You're going to hafta open up each faucetand clear the hot water inlet. Then before you button up the faucet turn on the hot water supply to flush it out. Repeat this on each faucet that's affected. Let me show you how to maintain your heater. For long life and fewer troubles you should keep your heater clear of mineral build-up by flushing on a regular schedule. Attach a hose to the boiler drain at the bottom of the tank. With the pressure on, open the boiler drain and let it run until the water runs clear. You will see a spurt of red,(rust) followed by white grains,(lime or calcium carbonate). This shouldn't take more then a few minutes. Do this monthly to keep it clear. Now flush out your hot water lines on ALL fixtures. Now pull each aerator and clean the screens. Be sure you put them back togather the same way you took them out. Don't forget to flush it out every month. Your heater will thank you for it. Hope this helps, Tom

I answered your first question before I knew you didn't have any cold water entering your heater. No wonder you have no hot water in any of your faucets. Sounds like a frozen pipe to me. Disregard my earlier post and check the cold water pipe. You might want to shut the power off to the heater until you locate the problem.. Regards, Tom
