    Hi Camaro:

    Have you checked to see if the shutoff going into the water heater is in the fully opened position?

    Another thing to check is the MAIN WATER SHUTOFF... could be that the plumber had to shut this to install the water heater. Check the main shutoff to see if fully opened.

    Let us know what you find...
