    Westpoint WHV-0615 Gas water heater : no flame issue

    Hello, Flame will sometimes light up when the whole unit is poked / shaked or when I play around with the spark switch. It will sometimes make that additional sound as if it is triggering something. Then I will open the water and it will work. It seems that only when the trigger sound can be...

    Water Heater Valve and Other Questions

    To preface this, I just purchased my first home. This is my first post and I really hope you guys can help with my problem. I'm pretty new to general home repairs, but tend to be pretty good with general DIY so long as I do some research first. My new home has a gas water heater. There seems to...

    New water heater tank exterior corrosion

    I'm a consumer looking for opinions. I just had a new Rheem electric water heater installed. There is corrosion on the tank, as you can see in the photo.

    Rheem vs. Ruud?

    Hi everyone, Are there differences between Rheem- and Ruud-branded water heaters? It looks like the product lines are identical (except for the nameplate). I know they're the same company, but is one brand a premium line, and the other lower-end? I'm looking to replace my old electric tank...
