Hot Water System

Hot Water System FAQ:


I recently had a Culligan System put into a house I bought to treat 6ppm Iron. This has worked for the Cold Water..but my Hot water still Stinks! I called RotoRooter and they told me I needed a new Water heater, and too confirm that they would charge a 195$ fee. The previous home owner replaced the Magnesium Rod with an Aluminum one. The water heater looks new. Could I get away with giving it a good flush? I have been using the heater with softened/deironized water for a week now and it still has not diluted in odor which I thought would happen after a while. Help!!!!!
Cold Water tested today negative for Sulfur. Unless theres Sulfur in Water heater from before water was treated.

Hot Water System FAQ:


The hot water valve in the bathroom sink blew. We shut off the hot water at the sink, then in the whole house at the main water heater. (There is an additional small heater that I think runs the kitchen and bathroom where the valve blew). After replacing the valve, we have no hot water pressure in the whole house. Cold is too high, but nothing comes out any of the hot faucets. Hubby thinks the main shut off valve at the heater is bad. I read maybe all the valve action loosened up some residue, clogging pipe coming out of heater? The outlet pipe at the heater is hot so heater is working.

Landlord is out of town for the weekend and gave us the ok to fix the sink valve. Now the whole system seems screwed…HELP?

Hot Water System FAQ:


I have a good well with a good pump. There are two pressure regulating tanks and a whole house chemical free water filter in-line. The water heater is 1 year old. I can’t find any leaks inside or out. My pressure is set at 45 psi (pump turns on) and 60 psi (pump turns off). The problem started without any changes to the system. It seems to be worse when it rains heavily for days. That may be a stretch or excessive thinking, but I’m at a loss. Any tips or help would be appreciated.
