In most homes though, you have a primary tank which is a water heater size around 150l, which is generally good for three people.\r\rThe hot water heater is usually close to where all the plumbing supplies come into the home from the street or ground. All water and incoming water coming out of a faucet or shower go through this primary water heater tank first.

Usually, a water heater takes anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours for the temperature to return to normal. \r\rThe length of time can vary so much because if everyone in your house turns on the hot tap from the water heater at the same time then obviously there is going to be a lot more demand on the system than just one person turning on the tap. If you find your hot water temperature from the water heater or electric heaters has gone cold and you think that this is due to someone else in the home using up all of your hot water, then it may be a good idea to invest in a tankless system so everyone can enjoy their hot showers and warms the hot water faster.\r\rGenerally, if your hot water temperature from the water heater runs out and other is cold water while you are showering it is because other people in your household have used up all of the hot water.

Next, make sure that your tank is getting gas from the switch and there is no air in the line to prevent the pilot from staying lit; oftentimes this can cause problems with starting up a pilot. All tankless water heaters have another system of working and heating water.\r\rTo locate your pilot light switch, look for a small, red button along the side of your water heater. This control allows you to light or shut off your pilot light for all the hot water. Once you have located it tighten the knob of the water heater so that gas will flow through your system when you are ready to start up your pilot light again.\r\rTurn the knob counterclockwise until it reaches its most open position and waits for approximately one minute before turning it back onto its previous setting. When this is done, watch for signs of ignition which include a small blue or yellow flame coming from the pilot light. If there is no flame lit in one minute, open the knob up again and repeat the process until you see a flame. Once this happens, give it another hour to ensure that your heat water tank or electric heater will heat up properly before turning on any faucets. You can get a water heater replacement if there is little to no water heated. Proper service of your heating unit will ensure a nice warm shower with power without the wait. Install a larger tank with more capacity if you have more people living in the house.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null}]}}],"categories":null},"localsearchCMSArticles({\"categoryName\":\"plumbers\",\"size\":5})":{"__typename":"ArticleConnection","results":[{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"F2CDA12B-B9C0-4143-BD5A-09DA248EBD54","articleTitle":"How Long Do SharkBite Fittings Last?
