The Home Depot Water Heater Problems

most common problems with Home Depot water heaters are the same for many other brands and manufactures as
well.
Popping and Banging Home Depot Water Heater
Solution
Popping or banging noises coming from your water heater
when it starts to heat, or you turn a water faucet or appliance on are a sure sign of sediment and mineral build
up inside the water heater. This is common to all gas, propane and electric water heaters. The ultimate solution
is to install a water softener or water treatment system. Installing a treatment system will help control, and
in some cases, slowly remove much of the mineral buildup in the plumbing system. There is no real danger in the
noises, but just the fact that the heating elements or tank is coated with sediment reduces your Home depot
water heaters energy efficiency drastically.
