[@Lennox1492]

this is one of the most helpful videos on KZbin! thank you so much, fixed my problem

[@stevenlavimoniere]

glad i could help

[@bigpardner]

Why would the hot water be blocked if it was well sediment? Wouldn't the cold water line have a more direct flow than the hot and tend to have more sediment?

Steve, Good Job, Customer seemed cool

[@stevenlavimoniere]

S Sam lady had to call when her husdand was out fishing ,he tryed to fix it for 2 years she said .lol

[@harrydickson4575]

Wow that was completely clogged . Nice job Steve

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Harry Dickson yes i was surprised how bad it was

[@honestplumbingsantamaria7798]

Those symmons valves seem pretty nice, they must be pretty common over there. As for the sediment. No tank type water heater that needs to be flushed?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Tim Short no the sand came from the well pump

[@jessec2353]

Filter down stairs has nothing to do with that. See, the water heater is next to the washing machine. So the hot water goes from the heater to the washing machine. Water heaters build up calcium and scale from within which when they loosen up, those particles will clog up your components. Drain your heater and put a strainer to see what I'm referring to. Good luck.

My mother having problem with her washer the hot water side is clogging with random little debry, I suspect it is sediment from bottom of hot water heater. My uncle thinks it is from the well, but when I ask well shouldn't the cold side be clogged as well and he has no answer. If only hot side is whack I'm thinking hot water heater is source of problem.

[@jessec2353]

@@MistaTofMaine Not sure how water from a well is treated but municipal water is treated with tons of chemicals to purify it. Eventually them chemicals settle in the water heater and eventually clogged it up. The cold water usually sends rust particles if it’s metal piping.

The hoses are fine, the screens are clean, but the water is still not entering the machine. My hot water heater is neew. What is wrong? Please help me! Thank you.

Good job. Wow that line was dirty!!!!!!!!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

leanorlando she was blocked up just like the wood chipper

[@MegaRadio90]

That's coming from her filtering system.

[@leanorlando]

steven lavimoniere Lol!

[@louiscabral7306]

What if you checked your hose connection and the screen is clear, what do I check next?

[@raechelyndawn2580]

I LOVE your accent!!! Thanks for the help!

[@plumbworker]

is there a water softener in her home..? it kinda looks like water softener resin medium

[@stevenlavimoniere]

plumbworker no water softener ,,,,its from the well ,its sand

[@heavydiesel]

Get that problem on milk tank water valves, think its scale. I fit external Y strainers if they have a history of scaling up, easier to clean out.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

heavydiesel this was sand for a well ..

[@heavydiesel]

Oh right! seen that to with bore hole supplies, one place had a flood and it washed a load of dirt down the well, took ages to clean itself out.

$upreme repairs for $upreme Appliances.....At least the lady didn't go out and buy a new machine, those older ones are worth fixing compared to the new flimsy units. Do you think she has sand in the hot water lines/boiler that was never flushed out when the filter was installed?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Dwight Bennett the unit was blocked only on the hot side very strange

[@robertsalas3984]

It's been years ago but that is all the hard water deposits from the water heater

[@dcrickerson9775]

Wow, now thats what I call plugged up.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

DC Rickerson it was bad for sure

[@Brad1237202]

Those old rubber hoses are an accident waiting to happen! Most homeowners don't realize they should replace the hoses every 4-5 years, or better yet, install the braided hoses like you did. Water damage is the #1 claim on homeowners insurance.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Brad1237202 yes most homeowners do not know about the hose change out i always try to upgrade the hoses when i see them .. some will some will not .. but i warn then

[@kkdonovan3804]

Maybe if he explained what he was doing would have been nice, Also so much camera movement,

[@SamanthaGarcia-wr6kc]

Water heater system needs to be flushed

[@jhhvacplumbing1944]

[@stevenlavimoniere]

justin henning it was blocked for sure
