I need to know how much the heater is, too.

Hello, all. Today I received a flyer from City Hall saying that water service may be shut off to my home for 7 hours on Sunday. There’s a worrying passage near the end:
“During this period the City water main may be drained. You should take such measures as may be necessary to protect your hot water unit or other plumbing installations against possible damage. The City accepts no liability for damage resulting from this interruption of service.”
Whaaa? We aren’t going to touch the taps during the shutoff period, just to be safe; is there anything else we may need to do to prevent any damage?

I saw a small puddle under the dryer and the relief pipe end was moist. I have never noticed that before. What would cause the relief to be lifting in this hot water tank? It is an electric hot water tank.

I want one for my betta fish. But I don’t have one yet. So what can make their water warmer at about 75 degrees while I wait for enough money to buy one?

My hot water runs out very quickly i’ve tried turning the water temp down and it helped a little but I want it to last longer.

There are three settings, vacation, medium and hot. Right now it’s on vacation and we don’t have any hot water. Do I just need to put in on medium or hot?

Is the temperature window on the upper part of the heater corresponds to the higher temperature setting and the lower window on the lower part corresponds to the lower temperature setting? I have an old heater and all markings are gone except for the temp dial. I am just making sure I am doing this right. Also, what should be the optimum temperature difference to save on electricity? 5 degrees? 10 degrees difference?
Thanks for all the help and any tips you can give to converse energy for this summer.

Can anyone tell me what I should expect to pay to have a tankless water heater installed?
I had a plumber out today and asked him and he gave me a verbal quote of $3000-$4000 which I thought was rediculusly high. I’ve estimated on my own the cost of the heater needed is pretty low, between $600 and $900 so based on the quote I was given they’re talking 30-40 hours of labor to install?
Basically, all that needs to be done from what he said is a new larger gas line run to where the water heater is which would be about 10 feet and then new vent ducting to the roof which is about 30 feet. And if I go with the bosch 1600H there’s no need for electricity since the water flow provides the power for the ignition.
Thanks.

this been going on for at least a month now, but before the only time it make this sound is when we use the hot water .

I have a water heater that the pilot light will not stay lit. I can light it and turn it on and it heats the water. Once the fire turns of, the pilot light turns off. I have to light it at least once a day.
