Hi all, if you do a search in this group for my email address, youll find a post I posted a few months ago. Basically, my water heater was not staying hot enough. I replaced both heating elements and all seemed to go back to normal. We had hot water enough to last both our showeres without any cold water entering the scene.
However, it has been a few onths since then and the hot water is getting weak again. We cant even get the tub filled half way without the hot water going bye bye. The replacing of the heating elements helped for a few months, but now blah!
Then, my wife JUST NOW calls me telling me a horror story about a girl she works with having to go home today becasue her hot water heater busted and water was every where.
A friend of mine who works on them suggested i turn the thermostat up, and it that doesnt work, replace the thermostat. And if THAT doesnt work, get a new water heater (it is about 12 or 13 years old as it is.)
My question; Do i need to worry about my water heater blowing up anytime soon? Are there signs that the sucker is gonna blow? And if so, am I experiencing some of these sings? (gulp).
Thanks for everyones help in my former post, and thanks in advance to this one! Jazz Mann
