- How an electric water heater works. I go over all of the electric water heater parts, what they do, and how the whole heater functions. I explain the water supply lines, pressure relief valve, thermostats, heating element, dip tube, drain valve and all of the rest. For further details on how a water heater works, check out my gas water heater video:

Wow this is one of the most well thought through and explained videos on youtube. Thank you so much! Very educational.
"240V which is a bit more refreshing than most would like" such wit and humor as well as an in depth knowledge of the topic at hand, I could not be more impressed with this video, thankyou so much
It was a very good explanation!. Regards from México.
Hello sir. Your video on water heater is really informative. I never saw like this video on youtube. Thanks for sharing
Good to hear that, thank you!
Thank you for the explanation on the workings of a water heater, this is a video all homeowners should view. I’m from California and have been in so many earthquakes I lost count but two stand out as memorable for me, the 1987 Whittier Narrows quake 5.9 magnitude. I lived in Whittier and was standing, getting ready for work and when the quake came up from the ground and felt like a giant sledgehammer was pounding the floor beneath my feet. Next came the shaking which made the walls of my house look like it was made of jello. The energy that quake released was unforgettable. 2nd quake was the 1994 Northridge quake, 6.7 magnitude, about 48 miles from Whittier where I lived. This quake was about 20 seconds of intense shaking up and down AND side to side that separated a major beam in the house that literally allowed me to see daylight through the wall. My small stereo on a shelf unit was completely turned around and facing the wall afterwards, yet never fell off the shelf. Nowadays we’re like your neighbors and barely pause to acknowledge anything less than a 5 magnitude 😏
Definitely the best help & explanatory video I’ve found for water heaters, and I watched probably 20 or more before finding this one! Thank you so much 🙏
Yes!
Jay, thank you for your advises. You are very helpful for any person working in plumbing.
You are so right about the plastic drain valve! When I replaced my water heaters water heater, I always put a brass nipple and ball valve.. it's better for draining too.
This is the best explanation on how water heater works. Thank you very much 🙏🏽.
💯
Great job on the full description of function of all components. Thank you.
Thanks, Jay. Another great video. Your videos have saved me thousands.
That was a very helpful video. I’m a maintenance technician and we’re having problems with our hot water heaters, electric and gas that we have and the information that you just gave me was very helpful Thank you very much and have a nice day.
What a very well explained video. Now everything is clear in my mind about how a water heater works. 1k thanks.
I remember when Mythbusters capped the pressure valve and that MFer turned into a missle.
Well thought out video, and thanks. I'm just getting into how a water heater works as to its wiring and switching. Again, thank you, I was unaware that the top element came on first, so that explains a lot of things when I am doing switching continuity checks. It seems that the top themostat is the boss and when it is satisfied it opens the switch to the top element, and at the same time closes the power switch to the e bottom themostat, which then engages the bottom element. So the top themostat operates also as an A B switch, or a Flip/Flop switch. Keep up the good work, and by the way "Great Video Voice." FR
I already watched this entire video on a web browser not signed in to RUclips. I looked you up on RUclips just to make sure you get a thumbs up! This video was amazingly informative and concise. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the excellent briefing on water heaters. You are just wonderful and generous. God Bless you.
Awesome Overview. Loved it. Very thorough and it kept me engaged!
Excellent video and easy to understand explanation of how an electric hot water tank works
Thanks for always being there for us
Great explanation in understandable terms.
Excellent explanation of how water heater works, mahalos from Oahu.
I watched this video cause was curious why my water didn’t get lukewarm from cold water refilling it, Now I’ve also learn there is maintenance, great video
Nicely explained!!!1
more refreshing than anybody would expect !
GOOD ANALYSIS, U DESERVE AN AWARD.
Very well done. Very thorough. Thank you for posting this video. It is helpful to me.
Excellent review. Bravo 👏👏👏
Great video explaining how a water heater works! I've been wondering for a while what happens inside the water heater when I turn on the hot water tap; the intake cold water coming in at the bottom while the hot water goes out at the top makes a lot of sense. Thanks again!
Thank you for that awesome explanation!
Great video, thanks! I always thought I needed to shut the valves when draining... good to know that's not necessary!
Glad you liked it! Well if you are draining the water heater then you would need to shut the valves off. But to simply flush it, opening only the drain valve is usually sufficient. Cheers!
@@WordofAdviceTV Got it thanks! Yeah meant to say flush...
Excellent tutorial
Well done! All I wanted to know and clearly!
Thanks
PERFECT EXPLANATION ❤
Greetings from Maastricht NL ❤
Thanks for a concise and informative video! Now to do a proper flush and replace the anode rod
I LOVE YOU BRO :( thanks for explaining everything thrully and not just saying weird names I've never heard before
This video is so helpful thank you
What an excellent video!! 👏 great job
Excellent way of explanation.. Keep it up
Thanks so much, you're the best! I understood every thing you said.
I'm a teacher and this was an excellent explanation! Great pace, clear descriptions of parts and how they work together.
Thank you so much! Very educational
Thank you for this video
I love the way he explains
Hi Jay 👏
I've never changed an anode rod. I've only felt the very slightest earthquake. Great video, Jay
Aloha Mr. Classic!! Thank you, good to have you stop by!
Honestly I sometimes wonder if it is even really necessary for most people. (replacing the anode rod)
So you've experienced an earthquake too! Pretty exciting right? We just had a small one yesterday. We don't get as excited about it anymore.
Good luck, God bless you and your family in Hawaii
Great video! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Always the best.. very helpful
Excellent video. Thankyou
Great video thank you so much 🙏
Awesome explanation as always!
Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment!
Aloha from Hawaii! 🤙🤙
Perfection. Thank you!
Great video for people that don’t know much about water heaters.
The only thing missing on this tank is a vacuum relief valve on the cold water side of the tank.
Great work in explaining how they work.
Thank you Mark! Yes, the vacuum relief valve along with an expansion tank were missing. Would have been nice to go over them in this video but it was not meant to be..
very good explained ...
Thanks for your videos. Great help!
Refreshing, indeed! Clever pun, Sparky
Very nice explaining that
This explains why my brand new Rheem only seems to be using the bottom element. I was about to check the wiring and or reset it.
Awesome explanation
marvelous video!!!
perfect explanation
Excellent piece of explaining....
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Great explanation bro👍👍
What an excellent video!
Yep Hawaii everything corrodes but this is the best explanation, simple quick all scenarios covered. Gonna check my anode and change my thermostat it trips the reset button all the time lol
Amazing.
Thank you very moocho sir
Vertical good video. Thanks
Very informative. The last time I replaced my water heater, I was required to put an expansion tank inline. I did not see any explanation of what this is for and why it is required.
thank you for excellent explanation i have a question how the water comes out naturally from the top without pressure
Thnx Jay this video is very helpful. N I'm just not sure about replacing drain valve might be the solution to my problem
I love this video. It is great!
great video thanks!
very well done. thank you for sharing
Wow, you've watched quite a few videos. 😄 I really appreciate you leaving a comment each time. Have a wonderful new week my friend!
Nice job!
Super helpful
Fantastic. Trying to plumb in new water softener and didn't know which pipe to pick. So plumbing into incoming cold line then back into heater will make all my hot water filtered. Cheers.
Good job 👏🏼
Great job
You are amazing...Thanks
Great video!!
Great video. Concise and educational. And I have been in an earthquake that was about 8.0. dishes fell, pictures came off the wall, bookshelves fell, roads broke apart, cars fell, basically a great time. Interestingly, you can have a low riktor scale count quake near you that will do more damage than a strong one fast away.
Thank RUclips so much for this video I
I think it's time to check out the anode rod and dip tube because everything else looks good
Great video
Thanks Jay !
Great Video
Wow great video!
Thank you!👍👍👍
It was quite refreshing let me tell you. Just decided to try to do this without turning off the power. Everyone should try it i recommend it
Another great one 👍👍👍
Thank you Harry! Always good to see your comment! 👍👍👍
May you have a spectacular and blessed week!! 💪💪💪
Very informative 👍🙂I've got a 38 gallon electric hot water heater. Any way to find out if It needs 2 heating elements?
U,are, really good, plummer
Thank you very much
Well said!
100% agree on the plastic drain valve! Lol
I would recommend to have a shutoff valve on both cold and hot line . In case of maintenance it will be helpful.
Moreover you may check the incoming water quality and the pipe material . The copper pipe could replaced with PPR to avoid the corrosion and dielectric effect
8
You don't need a shutoff on the hot side if the cold is off. The pressure on the cold side is what pushes the hot water out. Also, it would be pretty dangerous of the hot side was turned off while the tank was still on.
Good video
Always good to be here love it
Great to hear that! Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment 😀🤙🤙
Thanks again, for the video. How could I know I the thermostat is working properly?, thank you in advance
My AO Smith 50 Gal water heater is only a few months old. When we installed it the power was turned in before it was filled with water. I replaced the top element which was burned up. I ohmed out both elements and are about 13 ohms. The temp is set at 123 on both regulators. With nobody using any hot water in the previous 48 hours. When we try to fill up our top we run out of hot water ( maybe 25 gal tub) when it is about 1/3 full. Any suggestions on why this is the case would be appreciated.
Excellent!! Videos . Thank you!
Thanks!
