Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Check the anode, flush the tank, and never ignore the relief valve. Twenty-seven chapters cover both heater types from the inside out, including the maintenance that decides whether a tank lasts eight years or eighteen.

How tank and tankless heaters work, safety around pressure gas and electricity, tank anatomy, elements and thermostats, gas burners and pilots, the relief valve and system pressure, anode rods and tank life, sediment and flushing, tankless systems and descaling, water quality and odours, venting and carbon monoxide, efficiency and insulation, heat pump and solar systems, sizing and replacement, and the systematic diagnosis of no hot water, not enough, too hot, and leaks.

4 fully worked cases from first symptom to confirmed cause

12 clear technical diagrams
