Brian G Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 I saw a water heater yesterday where the cold line coming in was fairly hot to the touch, while the hot line going out was barely warm. I made sure they were connected to the correct ports, but what in the world...? Both lines were PEX. Seems like something along these lines came up on a recent thread, but I can't find it. Brian G. Why Was Cold Hot? [?]
Brandon Chew Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 The dip tube on the supply line may have broken off inside the water heater.
hausdok Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 Yeah, If it was manufactured between about 1994 and 1999 it could very well have a polypropylene diptube that's fallen off. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
