Hi FRN:
Tell me.. how long has this been an issue? Then I can better advise you. The flushing of your water heater should be done with the cold water flowing full pressure and a hose attached to the boiler drain (at base of heater) that you turn on full open so that you FLUSH the system clear of debris/sediment under pressure. Do this for 5-10 minutes... should help some. Answer my question.. try this power flush.. get back to us. Good luck... MARK |

Last month, our condo had pipe repairs - we have no idea what they were, but the water was turned off and then back on about 3 times over the course of a week I think. Since then, a lot of us have had to run the hot water tap for 3 or more minutes to get hot water. Supposedly an engineer checked...
