Hi ,
Some of you may remember my water heater post from a couple of weeks ago . Well, today I actually got around to fixing it . It was the bottom element . Plus, it was filled up with lime all the way up to the bottom element . Replace both elements with the same volt and wattage ones like the originals , except these were supposed to be made especially for lime problems. Also , replaced the lower element thermostat .I also vacuumed out the lime out of the bottom as well as flushed it out to remove any left over lime particles . Filled up with water and released any trapped air before turning breaker back on . The only real problem that I had was that I couldn't get the drain to work when I turned it on to drain after hooking up a garden hose. Had to drain it by unscrewing the bottom element and letting it go . Did all that I could do to keep the water from going into insulation and under the inside of the tank . Got drain unstopped after cleaning out lime and flushed it out with water . Man ,it's nice to take a nice long shower now and not have to try and beat the hot water running out . Thanks for the help

New elements - 14.99 x2 = $30.00 + tx New thermostat - $9.99 + tx Element socket wrench - $11.99 + tx
So it cost me almost $55.00 dollars with tax to fix it , not counting the wasted water and gas for trips to my local hardware store , app. 8 miles one way away. But , it was cheaper than a new water heater so , it was worth it .
