    Thank you so much! Waited a week for a plumber after I got the replacement from Amazon. Saw this and in less than 10 minutes I was done!

    Wonderful and very clear video! The only wrinkle was that the tank was installed on a bracket, not the 2 screws. But it was very easy to figure out. Thank you!!!

    Hello! Great video!!! I just descaled mine without an issue! I didn’t have a syringe so I took an empty bottled water (Life Wtr brand) with a drinking top that happened to fit perfectly over the hole! Filled the tank with vinegar in less than 5 min!

    I am replacing the tank under my sink. Mine looks like yours., Good info in your video. I would like to make a pluming change. My under sink setup is identical to yours. My faucet has 2 leavers. one for hot and one for cold. Currently, only the hot water is filtered, as in your video. I would also like the cold water that comes out of the faucet to be filtered. In your video, there is a Y where the filtered water line connects to the copper tubing. It appears that one end of the Y has a plug in it. Ok, now here is my question... Can I pull out the plug and insert the copper tubing that goes to the cold sideof the faucet? If I can, are there any issues that I should be aware of? Thanks in advance for your help.

      This is not designed for cold water out of your faucet. It’s really only designed for the instant hot tank only. I do not recommend you doing that instead add an additional filter on the cold side if you want that filtered.

      It may be more than unstuck it could be the valve is not seating correctly from overuse. they do wear out overtime, unfortunately. It’s happened to me and I had to change the whole faucet head.

    Great Video! I did order a new InSinkErator hot water tank from Amazon. It came today. After I unpacked it, I noticed when I would turn it over I would hear a small noise that sounded like a small piece of metal moving inside the tank. I called InSinkErator tech support line. They told me that this is normal and caused by a small metal plug used to internally close a line to stop backflow. Have you happened to hear about this issue before?

    • @YourReviewChannel

    • @YourReviewChannel
      @YourReviewChannel  Рік тому +1

      Make sure you fill it with cold water before you plug it in. Because if you don’t, you’ll burn out the element and it won’t get hot. Other than that I’m not really sure what’s going on.

      @@YourReviewChannel I called the manufacturer and she told me to get some 1/4 inch tubing control valve. I went to Home Depot and they had no clue what I was talking about eventho I brought the old faucet to show them . I called manufacturer back and she told me to get brass nut, ferrule and brass insert. I ended up going to a plumbing store and the guy game me that parts for free saying it would not be worth his paper work to charge me! I now connected the copper tube to the water pipe but where the new part is there is a water leak . Friend told me to undo it and put “plumbers tape” before screwing it back on . Will give that a try.
      All good . Done! Finally!

    • @YourReviewChannel
      @YourReviewChannel  2 роки тому +1

      Make sure your hoses are nice and tight. They only go in one way it should not be leaking out of the tank. You could have a faulty tank hopefully that helps. Also yes some water and or steam can come out this is normal.

    Did you perform a postmortem on the old unit to see what failed? Did the element have an open circuit? When you put a meter to it how much current was it drawing compared with the replacement unit? Were the thermostat contacts pitted or otherwise faulty, or did the heating element have a great deal of mineral scale on it, preventing efficient water heating?

    • @YourReviewChannel
      @YourReviewChannel  2 роки тому +1

      No I just replaced the unit. The unit has a insinkerator water filter on the cold water line.

    Nice video.. Seems simple enough assuming one has room under the sink to reach the tank ! Curious, how often do you think tanks needs to be changed when used daily for a family of two, primarily for coffee and tea purposes ? Besides not getting hot, doesn't the tank also eventually leak and these are the two sure signs of replacement needed ? Thx.

    • @YourReviewChannel
      @YourReviewChannel  3 роки тому +1

    • @jacegerock9399
      @jacegerock9399 2 роки тому

      The left one (blue) is the water supply that comes from the faucet when the handle is twisted. The middle one is the hot water going to the faucet. The far right one is a vent that allows air in and allows steam out (if necessary). This steam would go into the faucet and come out as drips into your sink.
