Today was “new hot water heater” day.<\/p>\n
Our old hot water heater was one of the ones manufactured in the mid-1990’s when the one company that made dip tubes (the tube that forces the cold water to the bottom of the tank) used a different plastic.\u00a0 Many hot water heaters made then had the dip tubes deteriorate in 2 years or less.\u00a0 There was a national recall to replace the dip tubes that ended in 2000.<\/p>\n
Our dip tube finally fell apart sometime in the last 6-8 months.\u00a0 For a few months now I’ve been finding little bits of white chalky stuff in the bathtub.\u00a0 I originally thought it was grout, but after talking to the plumber about our “running out of hot water” problem, it was a bad dip tube.\u00a0 The hot water heater is the same age as our house – 11 years – so we elected to replace the whole thing for about $1000 installed, rather than spend $200 on just the dip tube and have to replace the whole thing in a few years anyway.<\/p>\n
The plumber did a fabulous job.\u00a0 In about 3 hours he drained the old tank, replaced an old screw tap valve for the humidifier with a real valve, and installed the new one.\u00a0 He was incredibly neat through the whole process – he didn’t leave as much as a drop of solder or a forgotten screw in the basement and he even used drop cloths between the front door and basement.<\/p>\n
