service

If a condition persists or you are uncertain about the operation 

of the water heater contact a service agency.

Use  this  guide  to  check  a  “Leaking”  water  heater.    Many 

suspected “Leakers” are not leaking tanks.  Often the source of 

the water can be found and corrected.

If  you  are  not  thoroughly  familiar  with  your  water  heater  and 

safety practices, contact a qualified installer to check the water 

heater.
