Hi y'all,
I've got a 3 year old hot water tank and I also have a pressure relief valve at the water meter. I'm on city water. Here's the problem: I've got no hot water pressure at any tap in the house. Over the past few months, it's gotten lower and lower.
Here's what I've done so far: I drained the water tank to see if there was any sediment in there. There wasn't. I'm in the process of refilling it. There seems to be a little bit of an improvement, but not much. Is it possible there's a blockage in the exit line coming from the hot water tank? I've increased the pressure in the house by adjusting the pressure relief valve.
The hot water line feels hot coming off the tank but once it gets about 4 feet away from the tank, the line is cool to the touch.
What should I be looking for at this point?
Thanks In Advance,
Jeff
