Introduction

• A water heater needs regular maintenance to
  ensure that it is running well as the unit runs
  lots of hot water every day. However, a water
  heater has several dangers and risks such as
  flooding and leaks and the most dangerous is the
  risk of explosion. Your unit can explode if it is
  not maintained properly.
• A hot water heater explosion can lead to death,
  physical injury, and serious damage. In these
  slides, you will read about the signs you can
  look for if your appliance is at risk of
  explosion in the near future.

Leaking Tank Water

• Do you see a pool of water under your water
  heater? This happens due to corrosion. The crack
  fractures in the unit can cause warm water to
  leak from the water heater tank. Therefore, you
  need to replace your leaking appliance as quickly
  as possible.
• Immediately, switch off the supply of water if
  the leak is critical. However, you need to
  understand that it is the temporary solution. You
  have to contact your local hot water services in
  Geelong to fix these leaks as soon as possible.

Malfunctioning Temperature Pressure Relief
Valve(TPR)

• If the TPR valve is leaking then, you need to
  replace your appliance as quickly as possible. A
  failed TPR valve can lead to drastic damage if
  not taken care in time. It can cause water to go
  above the boiling point, that changes into steam,
  and make the water tank explode. This will cause
  property damage as well as personal injury.
• It is always advisable that a TPR valve should be
  inspected by a professional once every year to
  ensure they are functioning properly.

6
Cloudy Water

• Is cloudy water coming from your appliance?
  Musty-smelling water is a sign that your unit is
  failing. The mineral deposits move throughout the
  appliance and can bother the hot water coming
  from your faucet. The deposits can damage the
  taps and block the element that regulates the
  water flow. Moreover, if you see the water color
  is orange or red, it indicates that the pipes
  tanks become rusty. However, once rust settles in
  your water tank, you need to replace it.

7
Popping Noise

• If you hear some popping noise, rumbling and
  creaking noise from your water heater you should
  immediately contact hot water service provider in
  Geelong. A specific popping sound coming from
  your water heater, is a sign that your unit has
  some problems. The best option is a replacement
  before your water heater tanks cause expensive
  leaks.

8
No Hot Water

• Do you get hot water after a long time from your
  faucet? It is a sign that your water heater is
  failing. When the water in the tank is heated by
  an electric source, the minerals present in the
  water accumulate at the base of the tank.
