Low hot water pressure SOLVED

DIY low hot water pressure problem solving

[@clairemcdougall1498]

Our hot water pressure has been getting worse for a long time, and we were ready to find a plumber but they projected the cost would be around $400. So we went looking on UA-cam and found your video. Bingo!! Unknown to us, we were having the exact same problem, and now we have proper water pressure again!! Thank you for taking the time to share your findings. Very ,much appreciated.

I've used this video 📹 too...

[@stuartjack616]

My problem was clogging of the outlet hose, not the outlet opening itself, but I never woruld have figured that out without this video. Doing what you did revealed the problem right away. You're the man.

[@bookercocks4914]

Just wanted to say this is a really good video. Right to the point and everything is clear. Thanks man.

[@Garibaldi1]

Thank you my man! That was exactly the problem for me and it worked like a charm. I can finally have a high pressure shower again!

[@alexcoombe2299]

Thank you Tiger P! This was the exact problem I had, after watching your video I fixed the issue in about 20 minutes. Hot water pressure is back to normal.

[@jameshaley5083]

Thanks dude!
There have been three different plumber's here that we're just baffled and gave up.
This is just what I expected.
Hope mine isn't as bad as yours, that looked horrible.
Great video! Thanks!
Maybe now my landlord will understand. 👍👍😁

You're a very good man thank you very much your video showed me everything to fix my slow hot water flow .

[@nisholger8262]

That it was. Thank you. Input and output were both blocked directly at the wrench. So I can use the boiler some years longer. It is from 1991. Heated by natural gas. I changed the magnesium anode rod every 4 years.

THANKS!

[@Zabacleaning]

Thank you soooooo much this was the issue

[@saptarshi7587]

Thanks!!

[@jamescadzow9545]

Great job, thank you for the insight. I'm dealing the same issue, I believe. How did you know it was on the hot water valve vs. the cold water valve or was it a lucky guess?

[@tigerp972]

Just guessed that blockage might be at outlet.

[@alikhan-kg3gn]

Always turn hot water tab first then let the cold water mixed with hot water, when want to off the tab then go reverse, close Cold water first followed by hot water. This way you protect the air bubbles in the pipe during mixing process

[@michaelchase6514]

Going to look at this tomorrow. Did the low pressure also make the water out of the faucets not very hot?

[@scottmcfarland5830]

could relieve the pressure by flipping the pressure relief valve open that's why it's there

[@mar1812]

If the hot water pressure is low in the bathroom sink and shower but not the kitchen, would that be a piping issue?

[@rayandrewchavez176]

I have good pressure put of the cold side but the hot side is just a trickle. Would this same thing work to fix that?

[@tigerp972]

Probably

[@tcooper7289]

Thats literally what he just fixed in the video 🤦‍♂️

[@kawshin211]

Good stuff

[@Bunky1er]

After drilling would you normally drain tank?

[@tigerp972]

Let the rust settle and open the drain to empty 10 percent of water from tank and its all good.

[@mariosifuentes5994]

And those are dielectric unions, the whole porpoise of them is for this not to happen, they were seriously defective or something, i seen tanks 10-15 yo with out them and was nowhere close to be this rusted… weird

[@switchoff64]

Nice

[@ashwhite2827]

I just did this and my pressure is lower than before, did I miss something?

[@tigerp972]

If the cold water pressure is good, than hot water pressure should be same as cold water after any possible blockage is removed.

[@ashwhite2827]

@@tigerp972 like I did this and there wasn’t any blockage on the hot side, but when I put it back together, the hot water pressure was lower than before. What should my next step be?

[@ashwhite2827]

My wife just phoned the plumber... I tried... the hot water pressure is really high now lol... how would one lower it? Because it hurts to take showers now. Lmfao geez eh?

[@ashwhite2827]

[@cecilykoppuzha1873]

When you drill out the rust, what happens to the sediment? Are you worried about the rust causing a blockage through the pipeline? I assume you had to drill the rust into your water tank.
Also can we get an update on how your hot water pressure system and tank are doing now?

[@tigerp972]

Drilled rust just falls in the tank, I dont drink that water and it will settle at the bottom.
