Hot water runs cold

Article Abstract:

The distribution system, which delivers hot water from the heater to the end use points, has remained essentially unchanged. Oversized piping leads to significant water and energy waste and long wait times for hot water to arrive at the use point and for this, validated design models and a basic understanding of hot water usage characteristics are needed to develop a best-practices guide for builders.

Soft water, strong odor

Article Abstract:

Larry and Suzanne Weingarten view the problems faced by gas-fueled direct-vent hot water tank regarding the conversion of hard water into soft water and the odor emanated from the magnesium anode. They give their remedies on how these problems can be solved by adding a bag of salt, as the water is softened too much.
