What are some water heater upgrades?

Water Heater Drain Pan and Stand.

A drip dan is especially needed if the water heater is located over living space. Added property protection for any location too.

Hot water heater steel platform. The most important reason is to prevent fire incidents. Lifting your gas water heater prevents flammable fumes and vapors’ from spilled gasoline or any other combustible fluid from lying on the floor.

What Is A Thermal Expansion Tank?

Have you noticed a dripping faucet, leaking toilet tank fill valve, even noisy water hammer in the pipes? The cause can be thermal expansion of heated water. A buildup of unusually high water pressure can create a number of annoying and potentially dangerous problems.

For thermal expansion PDM recommends an expansion tank or other means. It reduces the stress on your hot water system and its various components including pipes, fittings, fixtures, and even your appliances.

When dangerous water pressures build up in a water heater, internal parts may fail such as the internal flues, fittings or water connections. If a flue way collapses it can lead to the potential release of toxic gases. Thermal expansion can even lead to a bulging or exploding hot water heater tank and may void the water heater manufacturer’s warranty.

If you noticed any of these symptoms, tell us and we can install a small expansion tank above your water heater to relieve unsafe water pressure build-up. A great safety feature.

Anti-Scald Valves.

Anti-scald valves or tempering valves and mixing valves, mix cold water in with outgoing hot water so that the hot water that leaves a fixture is not hot enough to scald you.

You can suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150 degree water for two seconds, a six-second exposure to 140 degree water or with a thirty second exposure to 130 degree water. Even if the temperature is 120 degrees, a five minute exposure could result in third-degree burns. Every day, hundreds of young children with scald burns are taken to emergency rooms. Remember to face children away from faucets and as close to the other end of the tub as possible. Keep children safe from scalds PDF.
