God bless you! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Well done.
I'm a plumber and I'm very good at it. I'm licensed and I always learn more from your videos. The best techs remain teachable so thanks
I love how this guy is extremely knowledgeable, yet also very relatable. He may not have had his equipment in a tiptop condition for the video, but the information he provides and the things that he chooses to overlook gives this video a great sense of "real"ness /organic-ness. i love it.
This is like the 3rd time I've watched this video and it's the best explanation of how water heaters work. Best on youtube!
I admire your honesty: You're supposed to check the anode rod, the pressure relief valve, flush yearly, clean the air filter grill, but I never do. Reminds me of myself. If it aint broke it don't need fixin. I'm a firm believer of not messing with things because the manufacturer offers overkill maintenance procedures. Not neglect just common sense.
This is hands down the best video on gas water heater.
Thanks
Perfect explanations, perfect articulation. Other RUclipsrs need to take notes on how you presented the information so thoroughly
Very clear, easy to follow explanations. Great video! Thank you for taking the time to make it!
Your ARTICULAION is OFF THE CHARTS!! You did not WASTE A WORD !!!! AND....incredibly COMPREHENSIVE!!! Geeezz...AMAZING!!! A Municipal area Junior College could take this video and supplement an HVAC or Electrical Engineering Tech Asociate Degree CURRICULUM...to theirs and their Students GREAT ADVANTAGE. YOU, YOURSELF...should consider an Adjunct Instructors position...at ANY SUCH INSTITUTION.
There has been a tiny bit of "nit picking" in the earlier comments....BUT my years of experiences....agree with and support Your Points of View.
Always very comprehensive. Excellent teacher.
Great video. I know what you mean about not ever draining the tank. My parents live down off the Gulf of Mexico and have never drained their tank in over 15 years. I live in Las Vegas however, and the water is very bad and has lots of minerals and whatnot in it. If you don't routinely drain your heater here you won't get more than about 5 years out of it. It's wild. Thanks again!
This was excellent ... and you showed above the burner removal and possible cleaning ... you knew what you were doing ...thank you so much!
Thank you for taking us through the hot water system. You covered basically all the parts and how they work. You even went into the heart of the system showing how to remove to check the burner. Great video and sharing.
Thank you! Glad you found helpful! :)
Hello J!!! I'm soooo grateful with your videos, you are SUCH a great teacher. I've seen many other videos on water heaters and they either over explained or fall short on important terms. You are spot on!!! Gob bless you my brother and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us nech techs!!!
Very educational. Thank you
Great description, well presented and demonstrated. Thank you !
Thank you for the tutorial, have a wonderful day.
Excellent vid. You did a great job on explaining everything.
Good video. Thanks. I am a fire captain and we routinely get calls for leaking water heaters. It will be a good video to show my newer firefighters.
One of the best explanation youtube videos I have ever watched. Thank you so much for your sharing.
I Love The Way YOU Break It Down!!!
Great video...kudos to the camera person .no out of focus situations and your knowledge and instruction of the of the subject was clear and concise. Great job! .. thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, glad you liked the video! Thank you for watching and commenting! And I agree, the camera person is awesome!! (my wife ;)
Great straightforward explanation. Thanks for keeping it honest and simple. I always say those who really know their stuff are the ones who can present it effectively to a novice audience. Thanks so much! You work is appreciated.
Excellent job explaining. Thank you!
GREAT JOB EXPLAINING THE DETAILS. THANK YOU!!
You're welcome! Thank you watching and commenting!
Your explanation is very clear, understandable more so than the other film clips I have viewed. THANKS!
I love it that despite your in depth knowlege of water heaters and the reccommended maintenance that you resisted the urge to virtue signal and admitted that like most guys you have ignored the reccommended servicing.
Thank you for explaining this. I wish you'd explain many more things like this.
I've been curious about how the hot water system works. Thanks for the video.
Finding this video was a lifesaver dude! Thank you so much for creating this & for teaching me all of this! 😀
I'm happy to hear the video helped! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video...thanks for sharing your knoweledge!
Excellent video young guy! I've watched many videos on gas water heaters, but you went into detail with the whole entire thing and I appreciate that!
Thank you! Glad to hear the video was good! :)
you been blessed with wisdom by God man I have learnt so much from you thank you for sharing your knowledge GBY
Absolutely the best educational video I’ve seen. Great job!
awesome video. it's unbelievable how you could deliver so much information so well in one video.
Great video. Now I understand how my water heater works. Thank you.
Awesome video my man amazing job, thank you for your time and effort for putting this together to educate home owners or whomever has interest in this area. Very informative, absolutely great job on the tutorial. Thank you once again.
Best explanation about the gas water heaters. Thank you for excellent information. Great learning experience.
Thank you! Glad you found the video useful!
I concur thanks...
Great video and thank you for explaining every detail.
Very helpful video to learn the working of gas valve. Thankful for all this.
Very helpful video and knowledge sharing. It saved my day today when I had no hot water coming from taps.
Very informative and clear. Very helpful. Thank you.
Great video...learned a ton about my gas water heater...
That was such an awesome video tutorial. Thanks a ton
This was an amazing tutorial! Well, I guess I'll join you next time on, "The Best RUclips Tutorials Out There!" Lol. Thank you.
Haha Thank you!! Glad you liked the video! :)
Thanks so much 🙏 nice clear and easy to understand video. Definitely will watch the ad to help you.
Thank You so much for such a useful video
Thank you so much and you have a great ability to explain. Greetings from Toronto
Very well explanation and detail on taking the burner out. Two thumbs up. Thank you very much.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great knowledge, excellent teaching.
Very good video. Clear explanation without any fillers and very good video. I was able to see the pilot light and inside the chamber. BTW can you tell us where can we get such a flash light?
Great video, you're a very good teacher, I really learn with your videos. Thanks
perfect way to show how it work...the best
Marvellous, Excellent Described, bro this is the first video regarding Geyser I have seen with scientific explainition
I'm happy to hear the video was great! Thank you for leaving a comment!
Very informative video. Very helpful for anyone starting on water heaters
Great video. Very comprehensive. Thanks. Water is coming from my Pressure Relief Valve ( I didn't know what it was prior to this video) and I didn't know what was happening. "Do I need to call a plumber asap?" From your video information, I lowered the temp on the heater and it eventually stopped. Since I am unemployed at this time, your video allowed me to understand the basics. Thanks again.
You're welcome! Glad to hear the video helped!
Great video overall. Very detailed and included most all of the important items around water heater construction and operation. Thanks for posting. I do think replacing the anode rod (3-5 yrs) and draining the heater every year are important as is testing the overpressurization valve. You seem to blow these items off as not necessary when in fact they help extend the life and safety aspects of the water heater. Thanks!
I was surprised he disregarded the anode, draining, and safety valve maintenance as well. The tank manufacture screws in the anode rod and exposes the nut to remove it for a reason. I guess if you were to cut open 100 10 year old tanks you could come to a better conclusion but until someone does that I think you should check it yearly. Some people may never need to replace it but you will not know if you are one of those if you don't check it. Taking it out yearly will also making getting it out a lot easier in 10 years if it then should be replaced. As far as the safety valve goes the warning tag right on the things says it must be opened yearly to make sure it is not stuck.
Amazing explain to n that gave me the courage to tackle a pilot light that went out and seemed to never relight. Thanks 👍
thank you for the very good video on the operation of a gas fired hot water heater.
Learning alot from your channel. THX!. Seeing your hot water set up you must have a OPEN system & its NOT installed in the garage. No E.T. & your tank is not elevated off the floor. -- A homeowner that is learning to fix my own appliances.
I got the same A.O. SMITH brand, 2006, just got my MN house in spring, yesterday did a flush, just a little bit of debris came out, so got lucky, not sure if it was ever drained. refilled at about 1/4 way then drain again, twice to make sure any crap at the bottom got out, at first had to blow thru my hose a few times to get it to drain. To make a water heater last is a Water Softener. Very informative Video, Thank you
Thank you so much for this useful information.
Very informative brotha, 👏 👌 👍. I now have a better understanding of my water heater tank.....
Very good and informative presentation! Thanks
Love this and all your videos. very helpful👍
Really helpful video. Awesome, thank you!!
Great video very helpful thanks for sharing.
As usual, you are great.
Thanks for the explanation.
Great video. I learn a lot from you. Thank you.
Great informational video on water heaters ever
That great explanation, thanks you
Very good video, thanks for this!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing all this information👍
Very well done, great information.
Wow, this is really, really helpful. I need to flush my H-W-Heater, so now I feel comfortable and understand how everything works. So, I plan to do that soon. I subbed and will support your channel.
Other great Vid. I learned something today thanks alot
great video and its very helpful i just want to know how the sequence of operation works
thank you
This was great! I'm having a problem where I get just 5 minutes of hot water out of a fairly new Richmond Gas Water Heater. The dip tube was replaced and my inexperienced plumber has no idea what else can cause this problem that went from intermittent to constant. Note that it is 75 gallons, that it vents out the roof and we use standard, modern faucets. I'm at a loss! Can you help?
Well explained! Thanks
Nicely done 👍
Great Video Thank you for making this very knowledgeable video
Excellent video, ty.
Great video very informative. I thought it would be funny to mention that according the international residential code not having a drip pan beneath the heater is a code violation.
You would make a great teacher you are clear and strait on point .
What I really want to know is exactly how the thermostat works. There seems to be a lot of inaccurate information out there about the use of thermocouples, thermistors, and thermopiles within the thermostat.
The best I’ve gleened so far is:
A) A thermocouple is a device consisting of two different metals in contact with one another, which create a very small voltage (a few millivolts) when one side is hotter than the other side. The maximum current with a short circuit across the terminals is only a few milliamps, and the maximum power it can provide is only a few microwatts.
B) A thermopile is a bunch of thermocouples connected in series or parallel, boosting the output voltage or current, and boosting the output power.
C) The gas valve for the pilot light is a tiny electrically-operated valve that can be actuated by the minute power of a thermocouple, only a few microwatts. When you hold down the button for igniting the pilot, this forces open the valve. After the pilot light is lit (either with a match or piezoelectric igniter) and is on for a few seconds, it heats the thermocouple, which begins producing power, which is used to actuate the valve so it will stay open when you release the button. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple cools and its output power decays rapidly, closing the pilot valve so unlit gas doesn’t leak out.
D) The temperature sensor and main gas valve are what I have found the least reliable information about. There is a copper tube that sticks out of the thermostat through a hole in the tank into the water. It apparently contains within it a smaller tube that contains a gas (nitrogen? air? Let’s call it nitrogen to keep from using the term “gas” for more than one thing), or it conducts heat to a chamber containing the nitrogen. As the water temperature changes, it changes the temperature of the nitrogen. That in turn changes the PRESSURE of the nitrogen (look up the ideal gas law if you aren’t familiar with the PV=nRT equation). The nitrogen pressure opens and closes the main gas valve. As the water cools, the nitrogen pressure drops, eventually getting low enough that the main gas valve opens. The pressure at which this happens is adjusted by the temperature setting dial on the thermostat. But what keeps the gas from flowing if the pilot light isn’t lit? I’m guessing that the heat from the pilot light not only activates the thermocouple but also opens a valve through which the gas must flow to reach the main burner, perhaps doing this by causing a bimetalic plate to bend and alter the valve position. But if that’s the case, why not use that same valve to provide the gas flow to the pilot light, instead of the thermocouple complexity? Maybe that is in fact how it works. But a thermocouple is probably still used to achieve the emergency shutoff described below.
E) A thermistor is an electrical component made of a material whose resistance changes with temperature. There are two types. A positive type increases resistance with increasing temperature, while a negative type decreases resistance.
F) Also inside the tube that sticks into the water from the thermostat is a thermistor. Its purpose is to activate an emergency shutoff if the water gets extremely hot. This is not normally expected to ever happen. If it does, often thermostats cannot be taken out of the emergency shutoff state and instead must be replaced. I haven’t been able to find out how the thermistor is able to activate an emergency shutoff. Being electrical in nature, I would think it would have to do with the thermocouple and its voltage output. Let me hazard a guess. Suppose it is a negative type thermistor, and at normal temperatures its resistance is high enough to block the thermocouple voltage from being useful. Say that the thermocouple output passes through the thermistor to another tiny gas valve like the pilot light valve. Further suppose that, were this valve to open, the gas flowing through it would create a pressure against a moveable rod, causing it to slide outwards away from the gas pressure, and slide across a channel through which the main gas flows, blocking its flow. If the water temperature gets extremely high, the thermistor resistance drops low enough that the thermocouple voltage opens the valve, forcing the rod to slide and block the gas flow. That might work. Although, one can imagine a purely mechanical emergency shutoff, again using a bimetallic substance, this time having its flexure move that rod to block gas flow. In either case, it would seem necessary to arrange that sliding rod to trip suddeny rather than move slowly to block the gas flow.
If anybody can point me to a detailed and accurate source if information about how a hot water heater gas thermostat actually works, that would be great!
Wow thanks
Nice explanation. I would like to see a video with a gas fitter to point out all the gas installation mistakes.
Thank for the video. Subscribed.
The best statement is at 5:05. "Honestly, I've never yanked mine before." LOLOL
Seriously, a very helpful video!
You're right that's more than I ever wanted to know. But thank you for the information
Lol, thank you for watching! :)
Great Presentation
As a plumbing apprentice, I love you
Very informative 👍🏾
Excellent video and explanation of how the gas water heater works....i loved it. I have a question if i may ask. My water out of the tap, specially the hot water looks creamy or rather cloudy per say. Is something in my hot water tank causing that or is there a fix?
