Gilbert water heater questions
Does hard water mean a tankless heater needs descaling?
It can. Tankless units collect scale on the heat exchanger in hard water. Ask the plumber how often to descale your unit and whether a softener is worth adding.
My water heater drips from the bottom. Can it be fixed?
It depends where the water comes from. A drip at a valve, fitting or relief pipe can be repaired; water from the tank body usually means replacement.
Why is only my hot water brown in Gilbert?
The town ties brown water to sediment in its mains, which shows in both taps. If only the hot side is brown, the tank or its anode rod is the likelier source.
