Best explanation of a water heater that I have ever seen thank you so much

As a retired HVAC Tech, I confirm this is a great video. Some of this stuff was applicable 25+ years ago... the "troubleshooting techs figured it out on their own, the hard way, and some techs did not... In summary it was never this easy! :-)

I had so many different ideas on how a water heater works. This is definitely a lot more simple than I imagined!

I think I just learned the problem is the thermostat in the control box (which is too old to find). My pilot stays lit but the burner only fired once for a few minutes until this morning when it was really cold out. It fired by itself and stayed on for several hours and this video is telling me that the thermostat (the part on the box that gets screwed into the tank) is the issue. I've watched so many of these, they all cover the same but this is the first one that explained what actual component makes the main burner fire. Thank You!

Starting HVAC school and this channel has helped me tremendously!

I appreciate you for two things. One, you explained the whole concept very clearly in minutes. Second, hats off for your patience and replying to everyone. There is a lot to learn from your videos. I’m subscribing to your channel. Thanks!

Thank you for this excellent video. I see a previous comment about filling a kids pool. That is what started this repair. I ran a garden hose outside to the kiddie pool. The rubber seat in the valve had deteriorated and crumbled when I opened the tap. The kids had a nice warm pool but the valve would not close properly. Watching the video I got all the correct information to install this myself. You have saved me a $200 plumber bill. Also great to see a Canadian company making a difference for Canadians. 🇨🇦

I learned more from YouTube than school

Wonderfully explained and good visuals. So many customers have no idea how the heater works and I've had some ask how it knows when to fill back up with hot water, as if its empty at certain times!

I also deal in Stone lined water heaters. No anode rods!

My water heater went off, I saw this video and went to fix (turn it back on ) now with this knowledge I think I'm ready to start taking some calls.

You're a life saver! Thanks. Worked on many electric heaters but this is my 1st gas heater. I must say, an electric heater is way simpler & a lot to go wrong in a gas heater. I don't understand why someone would install a gas heater. The heat costs the same now days!
