..... our lines at the pressure tank froze due to extreme cold weather. ....... However, we have had no hot water since. We have replaced the hot water tank, .......... We can only get warm water if two faucets are on. The bathroom closes to the hot water tank will give us hot water if the sink the kitchen is on but will only get warm water at that location. If we turn on the bathroom tub in the far bathroom, we will get warm water in the kitchen. ..... The bathroom closes to the hot water tank will be hot and the other two will be slightly warm. We have changed the sink faucet. We have checked all the lines, they are hooked up correctly. We have checked for sediment and nothing. We are at a complete loss. Help.... Anyone. LOL
Allie, where is the pressure tank and is the water heater near by it, (basement, crawl space, etc.) Does the water heater provide any heat for the home? Is there a hot water line going to the garage or else where. My brother has both hot and cold and uses a wye shape hose connection to mix hot with the cold for washing cars in the winter.
When you get hot water as expected, how long does it last? Manu=y have made errors by turning by switching on th epower before the tank is full of water. I just installed a Rheem with my son and there was a big warning sign on the electrical connection box.
We all need to see a picture of the water heater piping. Somehow cold water is being mixed with hot water. With a well system, anything is possible when home was built. You need to follow the hot and cold pipes and look for a valve between the two. If there is one it would be off. Opened it will mix cold with the hot. Normally there would not one but you may never know.
As Reach4 suggested closing off the hot stop valve. He probably wanted to write cold only at all faucets including the washer and the tab/showers (not always possible). With all cold water stop valves closed all faucets can only have hot water. Any warm water or cold the problem is from the WH to the fixture. The valve in the cloths washer could have frozen and did damage.
