Sick dude thanks😊

Hi, will this not coke up the flue if its burning so low overnight? Cheers

Just installs mines but it seems when it fills a few minutes later water stores leaking or filling and then toilet runs and stops. What did I do wrong 😅

Can you vent the line to a nearby vent line that’s already in place on an adjacent wall ?

just a girl and 24 year old who didn’t have to put in a request for maintenance 🤣 thank youuuu!

Carbon felt is great for replacing the cotton wadding in liquid fueled hand warmers (Jon-e, Zippo, Peacock, Butterfly, etc.). The cotton at the top of the fuel reservoir typically singes turning black which prevents the fuel from properly atomizing. Carbon felt wicks as good as the cotton (and maybe better) and doesn't burn or singe! You can either replace ALL the cotton in the reservoir, or just place a piece at the top of the reservoir after removing the singed to layer. The heater will work much better than before.

Watched a few videos and this was the most clearly explained method. Thank you, gave me what I needed to make it to the clog. $30 at Lowes saved at least a $150 plumber visit!

I live in a old apt building and this damn mold grows and my window get foggy /wet and it’s full with this nasty stuff I’m going to do this exact thing thanks for the vid

Thx.

If someone is carrying a Robertson screwdriver in their plumbing bag, they are almost definitely from Canada. Thanks for sharing your setup 👍

Toilet was driving me crazy and husband was sleeping! Thanks for this video. I think my problem was solved thanks to your video!!

That’s a lot of putty bro

Don't use this indoors with that sooty flame.

Great tips. What about to seal under that pop-up drain, I have a gasket but is leaking. Not the top of the sink, but at the bottom. Should I use putty or silicone? Any tips? Thanks.

😱 you need to make the wick shorter until there's no smoke,then it could be used indoors. Make sure you buy 100% carbon felt, no other material added.

Thank you for posting this video. My husband passed suddenly 2 nights ago, and he was unable to winterize our frost proofs, and was unable to articulate what exactly I should do past turning off the outside valves. He actually had piped in hot water alongside the cold. So there's 2 at my outside faucets and I'm scrambling to find this information. So grateful, these videos are a lifeline when the person who does particular tasks isn't able to tell others, this is a lifeline especially in this economy. Thank you sir, this was a great help.

So So what would you suggest When sometimes you flush the toilet and it doesn't refill like the floater gets stuck? Then I open up the back and just tap it and it starts to refill, It doesn't happen every time! Does it need some w d 40? 😂

Thanks. No cost repair. Yeah!!!

It’s the most comfortable form of heat 🌤️

Ya. But ya slept

Adjusted it and still didn’t lower the water line. Still running. 😤

Thanks for the video. It saved my bacon. I found a tiny rock the size of a peppercorn stuck between the valve seal which was keeping the seal open. I flushed everything out the way you suggested and I'm back in business. Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing! Toilet fixed!

Thank you! Subbed.

I have a burner that fits my little woodstove. You really need a good chimney for that, but it works fine. It's smelly, but not worse than woodsmoke. It must be close to the draft in the stove for good results.

Will this work on just enamel being removed? No chip don’t see the black of a sink. Just still see the white of the sink

Basically you get a new hot water heater you follow the rules and you might get some life out of it. Every couple years like you're supposed to and flushing and getting the settlement and ECT yes. But if you wait too long it's easier, or safer to just to get a new water heater at this point. Shoot 8 years that's already a good life expectancy when one has been maintained from day one. 8 years is great buy a new one and move on. The tank and fittings and everything is compromised at this point from being neglected for so long but it was a trooper must have had some good clean soft water wherever this one came from

Just fixed my toilet because of this! Thank you!!!

You helped me fix my toilet, save money in my water bill. Not only that, my wife was so impressed that she gave me sugar at night! Thank you sir.

Thanks a lot buddy. Problem resolved. Thanks for sharing this informative video regarding flush

I tried turning that piece in my toilet but it doesn’t turn. What should I do?

GREAT video!!!

oh and that flat rectangle is probably some kind of asbestos or its ilk. mask up.

Solid. I'm going to try doing mine going up the chimney so I don't have to climb, but otherwise this is exactly what I needed.

Thanks for the video. Seems when one thing breaks it’s a conga line lol. At least I know it’s something I can do. Appreciate the direct video straight to the matter. 👍🏻

Do some not have a restrictor valve? Neither my old or new unit has one that i can see. Either way, no more hiss & I thank you for the videos.

I was hoping you would say toilet like archie bunker did.

Hilarious because I asked a few plumbers about this, they looked at me like I was crazy. They had never replaced these rods before, only the elements. Place where I bought the heater doesn’t even sell replacement rods- they prefer your tank rusts away quicker to sell you another one!

Another problem that can arise is with the fill valve gasket. When worn, or gunked up, it won't make a good seal and the fill valve won't shut off at the right time. It's like a $2 part and easy to replace. Also, one tip I always like to share--never open up valves fully. If you want them at maximum open, just be sure to rotate back the other way about 1/4 turn. A big problem that can arise is a valve stuck in the open position, because someone turned it with some good force into the maximum position. And if you're unlucky, applying a lot of force to close it can cause it to fail... and then you'll have a serious problem requiring a water main shut off.

Thank you

Jensen. THANK YOU! You helped me a young chick Save$$ with this video. You're Awesome! Keep it up... 😂

Big thanks! I just adjusted my toilet water level so no more running toilet. 👍🏼🙂

Does this cause black and sikver part8ckes in you hot water?

Is it the wick or the oil that burns sooty?

That fixed it - thank you!

Dude you rock replaced in less than 5 minutes. Thank you!

Interesting, is the rest of the rod just sitting in the bottom of the water heater causing it to eventually rust out?

Started to smell sulphur..checked..anode rod completely dissolved..put in powered anode rod ..no smell...good for 20yrs

great overview ty
