Briefly how does electric water heater works: Residential water heater warms water to 120°-120°. In electric water heater when it senses a drop in temperature the heating elements start warming up the water temperature most electric water heaters should have an upper and a lower heating element, with separately controlled thermostat, in addition a center rod attracts impurities in the water preventing from attacking the metal part of the tank. One step before electric water heater repair, water heater maintenance and prevention: Caution! An electric water heater is a 240-volt appliance that can deliver a fatal shock. turn off power to the water heater at the electrical service panel , verify that power has been shut off. let others around know not to restore electricity. If you have any doubt as to whether electricity has been turned off or performing the minimum maintenance, seek professional assistance. If you are located in area with hard water, the contaminants in the water build up progressively, creating a layer of residue on the bottom, obstructing the water heater's from heating well the water and shortening its life, to slow this process you can softening the hard water and lower the temperature below 130°F, minimizing sediment is possible by purging the water heater tank every few months. (drain off 2 or 3 gallons of water and let the water heater refill) Regularly draining the tank will prolong the life of your electric water heater. |
