What You Notice | What It Might Mean |
No hot water at all | Faulty heating element or thermostat |
Water gets hot, then cold | Sediment buildup, temp control issues |
Banging or popping sounds | Mineral deposits in the tank |
Water leaking near the base | Tank corrosion, loose valve |
Rust-coloured water or bad smell | Corroded tank or pipe deterioration |
