We have well water but when the water goes through the hot water heater it has a bad smell to it. Some one told me I needed to replace but I can’t remember what it is called.

How to replace the drain valve on a water heater?

MrsKat asked:


We need to get the drain valve out of our water heater. It is the orginal drain valve, but has corroded. It has some kind of cement holding it in place and we can’t move it at all with a wrench. It is very brittle and will break if any pressure is put on it. How can we get it out without destroying the threads on the tank? Is there a way to do this yourself?
Sorry it’s not corroded it’s just cemented shut. The cement is old and brittle and any pressure we put on it could easily snap the whole thing apart. Is there a way to get the cement out of there before putting more pressure on it?

I live in a small apartment and my couch is in front of my heater. I don’t have anywhere else to put it. Well now that it is getting colder out I want to turn my heat on but don’t want to have to pull my couch every time I turn my heat on. Is there anything that can be put over it that will allow the heat to come out but let me keep my couch in place? Please let me know.

mlynnej asked:


I have been using an upright kerosene heater. Due to the warm weather here in NC, I have not had a chance to crank it up. But I have recently purchased a new flat top kerosene heater. I have some left over kerosene from last winter and was wondering if it would alright to use the kerosene that I have on hand or would it be prudent to go and get some new or have some new mixed in with the old?

I would like some answers ASAP for a winter storm warning is in effect for tomorrow in my area. Thank you all.
