What Are 5 Signs That You
Need Water Heater
Repair?
◦ Water That’s Muddy or Sandy Looking Means What?
◦ Water that is muddy or sandy in look may mean that you have a
build-up of sediment in the water tank itself. Water heater repair may
or may not be needed here. The contents can be drained and the
residue removed to get the water heating back in operation.
◦ Water Has Metal Smell and Or Taste
◦ If the water from your water heater smells or tastes like metal, this can
very well mean, you do need water heater r epair or replacement. It is
a sure sign that the water heater is about to die and grit/ flakes have
come from the inner tank and are mingling with the water of your
water supply.
◦ Water Is Warm but Not Hot
◦ If the water from your water heater feels warm but not hot, this could
be that the heating element is burning out. Make sure that the
thermostat is set at the temperature of 120 and 140 degrees. If the
temperature is lower than this, it can make the water warm and not
hot.
