    New water lines no hot water
    I had a broken water line so I shut off the main water line to the house for three days. Plumber replaced lines with p.e.x. now I do not have any hot water. The line on top of the electric tank is hot, but I cannot get hot water at any faucets. I also have a recirculating pump. There is a sink that is between the hot water tank and before the line that was repaired - cannot even get hot water at that point. There does seem to be slight difference between the hot and cold running water - help I've been without water for four days and now no hot water.

    Let's do some checking. Go to a faucet that is affected and un screw the hot water supply from the angle stop. Do you get hot water out of the angle stop when you turn it on? Let me know. Tom
