Thank you!
Hot water tank leaking for an electric water heater, just want to shut the water going to the tank I'm in an apartment and can't reach main under stairwell already used turkey baster sucked up 2" plus I need the cold water for my pet's! Will this shut off the water going to the tank?
Thank you SOOO much for this video. I located the lever but wasn’t sure which way to turn it off because it’s high up in a dark closet. I finally stuck my iPhone camera with the flash on up there and figured out which way to turn it and gave it a hefty push and now I can sleep tonight!
My water heater has the crank style shutoff, but it’s all the way cranked to the right and it’s still leaking out of the water heater. Fml
Same. Did you figure it out
Shits a literal nightmare!! FML too!!!! Tired of this literal SH!THOLE!!!!
My water heater is not leaking. I have a hot water supply line leaking so i want to cut off the hot water only. How do i do this without damaging the heater? Thanks in advance.
I am so glad to see your videos. I am trying to figure out how to cut off hot water to my bathroom sink to take off cut off value and replace hopefully 😮 I don't see this box around my house but it is one belongs to the county that I don't have any key. I'm screwed I guess or maybe ask can county cut water off for me and hear them quote $$ of course. With all this how was a plumber going to get the valve replaced??? Can we ask to purchase a key? How did you get one? Please advise 😢 or can I just cut off hot water tank and no water will gush out when I cut copper hot water pipe only?
Thank you my man! Well explained. Now I can fix a leaky hot water shut off valve to my shower...👍
Great video. Super helpful and right to the point.
This has performed exactly as desired ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx8G49mV71sAzUl9shXyLW-r3XgHH9EVh1 . Basically, instant hot water instead of waiting up to two minutes as it was before. I have had this installed almost exactly one year now and just replaced the anode which is pictured. I pulled it out at six months and cleaned the heating element and removed debris. I would recommend a cleaning every six months and an anode replacement yearly. A mild citric acid and water solution soak really helps clean the heating element and tank. It must be fully disassembled to do the cleaning and that is not difficult but could have been made easier with a couple of design changes but no big deal.
Thank you
God bless you too sweetheart. So down to Earth and understanding that this hot leak can be an expensive fix and people need some relief. I'm going try this. Thank you! 😊
Thank you for thos tip. We have a hot water leak and we were freaking out because we had to shut water off etc. Thos way we have water to flush and drink etc. Until we get the leak fixed which can't be for a week. Its a pain in the butt but at least we have running water. Thank you for this
Thank you👍🏾
God bless you also!!
I can't get watwr out of my hot water heater
And he didn't have to use a lot of water to do it. What does it mean if pouring water doesn't seems to help it flushed at least not like yours just did
Question though. Do we need to shut off the gas feeding the heater or not worry bout it?
Did u ever find out? Did you live thru the ordeal???I’m wondering about the gas crap too! Wading thru sh!t water ova here!! Hoping I don’t bite the dust tonight!! 🙏✝️🪦💀😇
Thanks alot man. Very informative in a very quick video. Thank u
Thank you very much. I did what u said and I began to hear water heater slowly stop. I feel safe tonight. I had called a company here in Maryland Len the plumber at 3:46pm on today 12/21/22. They gave me a window between 4pm -8pm, at 7:30 the tech texted me to say he was not coming. By now I have water all over my basement and hot water tank was still leaking. However, I found ur channel . 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 I have some relief until tomorrow to get a new tank. Keep on, keeping on … u were straight to the point. 😊 peace and joy
You should know how to shut down water, power, and gas in your home. Take the time to learn BEFORE letting your home flood or burn while you stand around is really on YOU. That said, they should have done the service call as expected and at least shut it down or told you how.
Will the water heater drain? I wouldn't want to overheat the elements, so I assume I need to turn the water heater off for the duration?
Thanks this helped with a midnight pinch of a sudden leak.
Thank you! We live off grid and this video was very helpful. Peace to you and yours.
Finally! A video showing BOTH the Cold Water supply line on top of a Hot Water Heater AND the water supply line that leads DIRECTLY to it!! Need to shut down LEAKING hot water heater WITHOUT shutting off Main water supply line to house!! Thank you... Video is Simple & to the point!
Thank you. This helped save our ceiling. Hot water heater is in the attic. Could not figure out how to stop the water. This told me exactly what to do and where to find it.
thank you lol Texas 49 vs. OU 0 ....10/8
Thank u! You saved out floors when our water heater busted
Thank you!
Bruv your a g thanks man
Thank you. To get water into the house for the meantime do I need to connect the street side water to the hot water connection, I know I won't have hot just need water in the house until I get a new water heater
What if the valve doesn't work, it's old or stripped. Is there something you can put on the end of the pipe to shut it down, so I can turn my water on while waiting for new hot water heater.
Thank you for your help and short video!!
Thank you for this video. It is the only video that I could find that shows how to shut off just the hot water and still use cold water.
Thank you!! Boomer!
Thank you! Boomer!
Can you put a shut off valve on the hot water coming out side? Mine is set up the same way as this one.
Thank you so much!! God bless you!! I greatly appreciate this video and your help!!
Thank you man needed this help just now 👍👍👍
How to turn off electric water heater
What if I shut off the main valve to the house, the main valve to the water heater and water is still flowing out of the bottom of the Water heater through the drain (After draining at least 10 5 Gallon buckets) Where is the water coming from? I can't go to bed until I know it will stop or my basement will flood,
Im in that situation right now what did you do?
@@oflux8020 I had to stay up all night until all the water from all the pipes and the water heater drained out. BTW it was a bad relief valve. Ultimately I ended up replacing the water heater. Good Luck.
how do i turn off just the cold? trying to install a bidet on my toilet
San Antonio
Hello I have a question? So I turned off the cold water line to the boiler but I noticed the shower doesn’t work. Could you explain in detail why that is.
Hi there - Yes if your shower is a one handle fixture it is pressure controlled. If you shut off the hot water, the pressure in the hot lines also subsides to that fixture coming from the hot water lines, therefore it will cause your one handle, pressure controlled fixtures to not work. For a one handle pressure controlled fixture to work it must have both hot and cold water lines feeding it. But if you have 2 handle fixtures (fixtures that have separate cold and hot handles) you should still be able to use the cold side even with the hot water turned off. I hope this makes sense!
Awesome video and well explained! Keep up the great work and videos ! GOD Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great job man! I’ve looked at several videos but yours is the one that showed exactly what I needed! Thank you
Take to big of a shit today this dude will help u!!!!
Can you help me?
So how can I get water ?
😂😂😂😂
Your sink. Just as long as you dont have the main water valve shut off.
Neighbors, or you prepare prior to expecting to cutting water mein off before freezes. Filling up tub. Have let snow melt lol
Don't know if you'll see this, but what if I just turn off that cold shut off without first turning off the whole house? I don't know how to turn off the whole house. I hope to call a plumber in the morning, but I thought if I could stop that hot water from running, I could do without hot for a little while. Do I have to turn off the whole house first? Thanks if you see this!
Hey there - Yes you can turn off the shut off on the cold water feed to the water heater to turn off the hot water to fixtures past the water heater. That way you can still leave the water on to your house, still have cold water, but you just would not have hot water throughout the house until you turned the water supply back on to the water heater. Thank you for watching!
@@maiplumbing653 Thank you for your reply. My future son-in-law told me that I needed to turn off the water heater first before turning the water supply off. I couldn't figure out how to do that, though. He said if I left the water heater on and turned off the supply to it, the water heater would eventually blow up. Anyway, he was able to come fix the leak for me today, so that's good.
God bless everyone in this trying time. I cannot imagine the expense and work ahead. Thank you for trying to communicate with home owners/renters, to get help out there in the way of knowledge until you can physically reach them. 🙌🙏
Boom! 🙌 Blessings.
