Home Maintenance: Electrical Repair : How to Adjust Water-Heater Temperature

[MasSergioVEVO]

thank god for top comments :/

This guy shouldn't be giving advice to anyone!! He's not telling you to turn off the electric, and oh by the way, this is an electric water heater. He isn't telling you to adjust both the upper and lower settings and isn't giving you information on the "stacking" effect.

[cschmitz123]

Make sure you adjust the UPPER tem control as well if there is one.

Does this change the flame height? Most water heaters have a knob on the outside. If you set it for hotter the water heater will come on more often but will not change the actual flame height itself.

Good Video. But don'T it have 2 elements on that water tank? Usually it has 2 element 1 for the bottom part and 1 for the upper part... Maybe in usa it's different then in canada ?

PS... I cant spell either... DAM YOU ... Oscar dont worry everyone is a critic.... Anything you do someone will do it better... Only pussies turn the power off...

[khaliddrb1]

This video is what I was looking for also but I so agree with everyone who says turn OFF THE POWER FIRST!! after all we don't want anyone to die

[sgtgrooover]

Turn off the power!!!!!!! I wonder if this guy is still alive? This is the 3rd video I've seen him do with total disregard for safety.  Don't listen to him!! You could get electrocuted. P.S. that means you die!!!

[bait28]

@sgtgrooover mines a gas mechanical. no electric.

Hola soy Journeyman Plumber del Condado de Shelby en Tennessee. Está bien el instructivo, pero enseñar esto, es peder a tus clientes. Mejor haz tu el trabajo por ellos. Any way good video.

[pbr2424]

Shut the power off first. Its 220 volts. If your srew driver slips your dead. 120 degrees is max. Not 125. Over 120 you need a tempering valve or you could burn someone. Plumbing code.
