Why don't you get pressure from your hot water tank?
I wasn't getting any hot water pressure from the hot water heater to all the facets and shower. I noticed that the tank took longer than usual to fill. I take no resposibility for any damage you cause! Everyone has a different situation!
How I fixed my problem! I turned off the electric to the heater for safety precaution as you should if a gas hot water heater turn off the gas. Drain the tank then take all lines loose from the top of the tank. (Inlet cold side and outlet Hot side), look inside the pipes coming from the tank and yopu will see a plastic check valve, They tend to get rust in them or frose up. Remove them entirely one on each side. Note: they are a pain in the butt to remove but they will come out. After they are removed reconnect lines and fill. Note: After removing them it took my tank 3 minutes to fill when before it took 2 hours. Pressure is restired sinple fix doesn't cost you $600.00 for a plumber to do it because he won't even tell you that is the problem. All he will you is check please! I hope this helps all the disabled people who can't afford a $150 per hour plumber and all the disabled Veterans, or the elderly that get taken advantage of. Need more answers for anything? Email me >Removed< I will be happy to help for free. Im a disabled veteran myself that get taken advantage of daily good luck! Regards Robert |
