Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the water heater shut-off valve?

The cold-water inlet shut-off valve is located on the pipe feeding into the top of the water heater — it's typically a lever-style ball valve or a wheel-style gate valve. Turning it off stops cold water from entering the tank without cutting off the rest of your home's water supply. It's worth knowing where this valve is before you have an emergency. If yours is corroded or difficult to turn, ask your plumber to replace it the next time you have service.

How do I test my water heater pressure relief valve?

The pressure relief (T&P) valve is a safety device that releases water if pressure or temperature inside the tank gets too high. To test it, place a bucket under the discharge pipe, lift the lever briefly — you should see a small burst of hot water, then the valve should reseal. If it drips continuously afterward or releases no water at all, it needs to be replaced. This is a quick, inexpensive repair.

How soon after installation can I use hot water?

For a tank water heater, you typically need to wait 30 to 60 minutes for the tank to heat fully from cold. Your plumber should have filled the tank before activating the heating element or gas burner -- running an electric element in a dry tank can destroy it instantly. Tankless water heaters deliver hot water almost immediately once installed. Your plumber should confirm the unit is fully operational and set to the correct temperature before leaving.

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.
