Benefits of implementing the Forged steel ball valve

Check the water temperature. Use a thermometer that records temperatures between 100 and 150 degrees. Run only hot water from the sink tap near the water heater for a few minutes. Check the water temperature. If it is 125 degrees or more, the temperature is too high and unsafe. Water above 125 degrees can cause scaling. Lower the water temperature on the water heater. Thermostats are easily visible on the gas valve in most gas water heaters. The thermostat for most electric water heaters is under low cover access for the forged steel ball valve. Electrical connections are exposed under cover. Do not open this cover unless you are familiar with an electric water heater. Call a professional to help you.

Replace the anode after about six years. The anode is a piece of metal in a tank that is slowly decomposed by the galvanic reaction between water and the metal. The anode sacrifices itself so that the tank does not recover quickly. Once the anode is gone, the tank will rust and eventually leak. Some anodes are easy to replace. Others may need a qualified plumber. Read the instruction manual about anode replacement. Call a qualified plumber to evaluate the valve. Warning: It is not uncommon for this valve to leak when tested. For more detail please visit Hyper Valve.
