Hooked up water heater and had SCALDING hot water in less than 30 minutes. Was nice to take a shower in my own home instead of going to my dads (next door) every night for the past week or so. I was told by the guy that installed it to take a shower, then turn water off to house and take pressure off pipes to make sure glue sets up good. Followed directions and all is well in the Franovich house.
Side note:::::: When removing a water heater, not only do you turn breaker off, you turn water off also. Found out the hard way (I knew better, was just excited and forgot this step). Took me about 20 towels and 5 times to empty a 5 gallon shop vac later to remove old water heater. Everyone was outside and no one was around me when this happened. It Sucked. Had to put a box fan in closet to dry drywall so mold dont grow. Original water heater was so old, the element was actually rusted out and had a hole in it which was causing breaker to trip out (what guy told me) Its all good now, washer and dryer work like a dream and so does the hot water. Life is amazing now. Mike, you truely are a good person, Like I said earlier in this post, you might seem like a douche bag to some, your amazing to others. If you need anything buddy, let me know.
