Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test my home's water hardness?
Inexpensive water hardness test strips (available at hardware stores and online for $10 to $20) give a quick reading in parts per million or grains per gallon. For a more precise reading, your local water utility publishes an annual water quality report with hardness data by service area -- search "[your city] water quality report" to find yours. A licensed water treatment professional can also test your water and recommend a softener sized for your hardness level and household demand.
Why does my water heater keep shutting off?
For gas water heaters, a pilot that won't stay lit usually means a failing thermocouple — the sensor that tells the gas valve the pilot is on. Dirt in the pilot orifice and strong drafts can also cause this. For electric units, a tripped high-limit switch (reset button) is the common culprit, often triggered by a failing thermostat or heating element. Both are inexpensive repairs for a licensed plumber in Redmond.
Can bacteria grow inside a water heater?
Yes. Water heaters set below 120 degrees Fahrenheit can allow Legionella and other bacteria to survive and multiply in the tank. Stagnant water at temperatures between 77 and 113 degrees is ideal for bacterial growth. The CDC and EPA recommend maintaining water heater temperature at 120 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Households with immune-compromised members may want to set tanks closer to 140 degrees and install anti-scald mixing valves at fixtures.
What is the difference between gas and electric water heaters?
Gas water heaters heat water faster and typically cost less to operate in Utah (where natural gas rates are relatively low), but require proper venting and a gas line. Electric models are safer to install (no combustion), quieter, and can be placed in tighter spaces, but generally cost more to run. If your home already has a gas line to the water heater location, gas is usually the more economical choice.
