Great. That's what I like to hear. Thanks for watching.

There's nothing to fear but fear itself... and maybe a flooded house... oh yeah, and bears.. bears can be pretty scary. If you're not confident then always play it safe and drain the tank. Especially if your unit is quite old or if you see a lot of corrosion around the valve. Thanks for watching and drop us a comment on which route you took and how it went.

@@thewoggerswaydiy haha it's 10-11yrs old. It's in the garage so I'm not worried about a flooded home. I'm worried about having to replace the WH if I break the plastic drain.

Not a problem.. if the plastic drain valve breaks off you can still remove the remnants. I don't have a video on that yet, but here's a link to on that will show you how to do it. Good luck with your projects. th-cam.com/video/4m1KxuHewHY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PzstrCC50zinYPHj

@@thewoggerswaydiy thanks!

Those voices in your head need to up their game. lol

That is a problem with the new "water saving" low flush toilets. No flushing power so you end up flushing multiple times. Kind of defeats that "water saving" goal. Thanks for watching and stay tuned. I'm working on a video on a fantastic toilet that overcomes that issue.

Nigeria? Nice to know I'm reaching over in West Africa. Thanks for watching.

I've never encountered that problem. Once you've tried the rubber tube thingy, leave a comment to let us know how it went, in the event others have the same issue. Thanks for watching and the cmment.

Yes, it's great. I install them everywhere, unless a specialty decorative spout is needed. Thanks for watching.

I say the same thing here... I always seem to get a call8 pm on a Saturday or sometime on Sunday. it can never happen at 9am on a Tuesday. Same with smoke detectors.. they always start chirping at 2am and it's always the unit in your bedroom. Glad you were able to fix it ... being in the attic I hope you didn't experience much water damage. Dumb place to put a water heater. Here they're mostly in the garage which is much better. thank you for watching and for the nice compliment.

@@thewoggerswaydiy Not much water damage we’ve gotten real good with slapping that big fan on drywall and get dry fast. Nothing worse than thinking - this wall is fine - put your finger to nail a picture and your finger goes right through… uh, think we missed this one? Lessons still being taught ! Thanks for your great video !

my pleasure.. hope it helped you in your project. Thanks for watching

Great tip! Thanks

Yes, CLR, or vinegar will work. CLR a little faster. For something that bad you need to keep more of the cleaner in the raceway to work on the rim jets. Lots of the cleaner will go down and out the siphon jet into the bowl. To prevent that, take a small baggie and put some paper towels in it and then use that to shove into the siphon jet to plug it up. Now pour your cleaner (CLR or vinegar) down the overflow pipe in the tank. Pour quite a bit in there to fill up that raceway. May take a 1/2 gallon. Let it sit overnight and then remove the tape on the rim jets and the plug from the siphon jet and hopefully it's made an impact so you can clean them out. Let us know how it goes. Thanks for watching.

@@thewoggerswaydiy thanks. I'll let you know. I'll get the CLR. I tried vinegar and it didn't do anything.

There are conflicting opinions on running them in series. Running in parallel is fine if you're trying to boost the capacity of the the hot water during peak times, but in your case you are trying to get suitable hot water in cold weather when the incoming ground water is very cold and you feel one electric tankless can't keep up with the demand to put out enough water hot for your use. First, check with the manufacturer to ensure they have no constraints on linking them in series. Next I'd set the first unit so it's output water temperature isn't too hot, otherwise you may have issues with the second unit. Check to see if the manufacturer has a max temp for the incoming water temp and set the first one to maybe 50% of the max temp rise... probably in the mid 70's may be good. Other factors to consider are incoming water pressure - you don't want it too high. Also you need to make sure you have the capacity in your service panel to support the power needs/breakers for two electric units. Insulating your pipes has a great impact also, so if you have access to your pipes between the water heater and the fixtures, make sure they're well insulated. Finally, if possible, maybe consider a gas fired tankless, If you have natural gas service to your home. The gas units tend to do better with temp rise in colder climates. I am waiting to get through the winter to do an update on my unit to put out a follow up video on how it handles the colder temps. Even though we don't get the sub freezing temps like you get up in the NE area, we still do get to freezing temps here in Vegas. I'm curios to see how it works so expect to see a follow up review around April. if you proceed, drop us a comment to let us know how it worked out. Thanks for watching.

@@thewoggerswaydiy Thank you for the quick reply. At this location (external garage apartment) there aren't any gas in the building so electric is the only way as I will not pipe in gas as it is cost prohibitive into this stand alone "garage house". I have friends that moved to Las Vegas in their retirement age as I know it does get chilly sometimes there. As you mentioned you are taking over 100A 3 single poles to this unit... which I suspect should heat the water effectivly.. so I'm just thinking about the needs. I don't know what the support from the manufacturer in terms of questions like mine... so ... this project is still in my mind till I get most of the information to proceed or not. Yes .. double the initial cost but you know .. if I can get a tub of hotwater for bath, then that works for me. I have a 45gallon short boy electric hot water tank as it is located under a stairway that's enclosed for warmth... :).

The intentions of my videos are for the absolute novice. Someone with absolutely no knowledge of anything related to the project. Not a high end overview. For someone with more knowledge, you can skip ahead to the "nuts and bolts" of the process. I like to show the "why", not just the "how", because sometimes the "how" doesn't always apply to all situations. Knowledge is power. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. Kind of what I was shooting for. Haha. Thanks for watching and the nice comment.

Glad you enjoyed it!. Thanks for watching and the nice comment

I'm not quite sure yet since it's only been a few months and through the summer when my electric is high anyway. Once I get through the winter I'll be doing a follow up video on how the unit performs through the cold weather and the effect it's had on my electric bill over the course of one year. Thanks for watching.

Yay! That's what I like to hear. Thanks for watching.

Thank you very much... and thanks for watching

Inquiring minds want to know... did it work? Always love to hear a success story

Us "old" people have no problem getting out hands dirty to do what needs to be done. Thanks for watching

Yay! Always nice to hear another success story. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. That's what I was going for. Good luck with your projects!

Glad everything went well for you and thanks for watching.

Yay! Thanks for the comment and for watching

If you have requests for collaborations you can send us an email through the Contact Us link on our website. Thank you

Comment on how it went for you.

@@thewoggerswaydiy works better but still not as powerful to get down everything. Might be time for a new toilet

That's what I do.. haha. Glad it worked for you and thanks for watching

Then you have a clog in your drain line after where the toilet and shower drain lines meet. Call a plumber to snake the drain line. Thanks for watching and good luck with your drain.

@@thewoggerswaydiy thanks

I charge extra for my "skill". lol. No, it's cheaper if we spend less time. Although, we do quote the job for a full drain, just in case there's any issues and we have to drain it, but if all goes well and we can swap it out without draining the unit, then we reduce the charge for time spent. Thanks for the question and good luck with your projects.

@thewoggerswaydiy lol, just giving you a hard time. I have a leaking valve that I might give your way a try, maybe. It's on an older tank, 2007, with a leaking plastic valve. I had a plumbing inspection yesterday, and I believe he was a little hard on the valve. I got it to stop leaking, but I do need to replace it. Have a good day sir.

Thank you. I try to make my videos for those that are a true novice so they feel just that.. confident. Glad I'm succeeding. Thanks for watching and the kind comment.

The content or me flashing in the thumbnail? Haha.. Either way thanks for watching

Awww thanks. Glad I was able to help. Now excuse me while I leap over a toilet in a single bound.

CLR ... there are several different brands but it's the Calcium Lime & Rust remover... otherwise known as CLR. thank you

Good question. I'm assuming the smaller diameter piping inside the unit is for better heat transfer to the water in the pipes, or maybe just to save on space. I have not noticed any issues with water temp or pressure and it's been working without issues for the last several months. Once I go through the winter season I'll do an update on this unit to let you know how it kept up with the colder incoming water supply. Thanks for watching.

8 ga is going to be stranded. Thanks for watching

There is no neutral for 240V. Thanks for the question and appreciate you watching.

I also live in an area with poor water quality, and a whole house system is upcoming. Until then cleaning/descaling this tankless unit is happening every 3 months. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching.

Thank you. Single Shot just sold out to Behr (the paint company). I informed the rep for Behr recently that they better not screw with the product so I can keep recommending it. Once a company buys out something they always seem to want to put their own spin on it, but why mess with something that works? Thanks for watching.

Yes you do!

I wonder if the Romans had the issues we have with them... Hmmm Thanks for watching

Yes, vinegar works well also. You may have t let it sit a little longer than the CLR but vinegar is a great alternative. Thanks for watching and good luck with your projects.

Fantastic! Single Shot spray texture just sold to Behr (the paint company)_. I talked to their rep and told them NOT to change the product, so hopefully they don't mess with it and screw it up. Thanks for watching

Yay! Good luck and thanks for watching.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

No.. thank you.

It's not usually necessary to do the entire wall. if you still have flashing issues with stuff like Kilz2, then use their Original Oil based Kilz.. comes in spray cans for small areas or cans for roll/brush on for larger areas. That pretty much will cure all issues. Good luck and thanks for watching.

@@thewoggerswaydiy Thank you!! That’s great info. Much appreciated.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and the nice comment

lol. Nope, just changed out the drain valve that was leaking. Thanks for watching.
