Troubleshooting Guide Start Up Conditions THERMAL EXPANSION HOT COLD Water supply systems may, because of such events as high line pressure, frequent cut-off_, the effects of water hammer among others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, back flow preventers, etc._to control these types of _roblems. When these devices are not equipped with an internal y-pass, and no other measures are taken, the devices cause the water system to be dosed.
Troubleshooting Operational SMELLY Guide Conditions WATER RUMBLING In each water heater there is installed at least one anode rod for corrosion protection of the tank. Certain water conditions will cause a reaction between this rod and the water. The most common complaint associated with the anode rod is one of a "rotten egg smell". This odor_....is derived from hydro_gen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. I he smell is the result o_four factors which must all be present for the odor to develop: a.
