Anode rod won't affect the pressure. How old is the tank? It could be clogged with minerals. If it's old and never been serviced (drained), then it will likely need replacing. Do yourself a favour and don't sign up for an expensive rental with them again. Save the thousands you'll keep by installing your own and invest it. Make sure to do regular maintenance, like draining it and changing the anode every 5 years or so.your best bet wrote: ↑ just noticed today all hot water taps in the house 2200 sq ffot house... with hot on low pressure,,when on cold water pressure is fine....have relience water heater rental...thinking its probably the anode rod within the hot water tank as calcium around bolt by water tank....so beacuse its rentral i believe its covered for free for reliance to change anode rod....

If it's a newer rental, keep complaining to them until they come and fix the tank.

Be sure to replace it with a quality ball valve.

This is the replacement stem for your shutoff or a $0.25 o-ring will work.

From what I understand the trap would only be on the cold intake pipe, as hot water would rise up and cold flow down, but the oppose won't happen on the hot end because hot water rises.Double_J wrote: ↑ It is ac season so they will send a contractor or water heater installer. These guys are paid piece work and likely won't want to come to that conclusion because they want easier jobs. You'd have to tell them you want it removed on the hot side. I believe some tanks may have had heat traps on the hot and cold side but I might be wrong.
You won't be charged, it's included as part of rental.your best bet wrote: ↑ thanks for the responses..as of now the hot water pressure is working....reliance is coming tomorrow....not sure if i should cancel that appointmant....not sure if i get charged if thaey find nothing wrong with the water tank...
