We had issues with our hot water heater and water temperature into our home varying at different locations. John resolved the matter through experience and great effort. We are very satisfied with the results and would highly recommend Collett's Water Cleaning and Plumbing Service to all.
RESPONSE FROM Colletts Water Heater Cleaning & Plumbing Service:
Ray had me out to service his 1995 water heater in 2004 when I cleaned it out with the Muck-Vac, added the flush device and installed 2 anode rods since he had a softener. In Mar. 2011 he had me out again since he wasn't getting hot enough water in his shower and said this has been a recurring problem every winter when ground water temp. is colder. They had the water heater turned way up to the B setting and I measured 157F temp. but his shower was still only 96F. After testing for a cold water cross connect, which they didn't have, I pulled off shower knob and rotated the plastic stop to max. hot and that solved their hot water problem. I then pulled both anodes I had installed 7 years earlier and they were both almost completely gone. I added 2 new anodes and now he's protected for another 5 years from rust. His water heater will last many years if he keeps having me back to change anode rods every 5 years. The powered anode option with the 50 year service life was offered for only $200 more, but he decided to stick with the anode rods even though the powered anode pays for itself in about 5 years and its effectiveness doesn't degrade over time as does the anode rods as they get smaller and smaller.
