I’ve been losing water pressure slowly over the past few weeks and recognize that our overheated water boiler is always done for.
I recognize that it was built 15 years ago as the sticker shows on the back of it so it is actually time to replace it with a new model. I’ve seen a little bit of rust coloration around the base of the tank too, telling myself and others that the tank may have slow leaks in it. I would love to get a tankless water heating system so that I don’t have to worry about slow leaks anymore. I recognize they are more efficient too and maybe easier to install. I’ll contact a Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation in our neighborhood and see how much they cost to install one. I can also ask them how much they charge to repair the new one despite the fact that I recognize it may be too far gone to repair and that replacing it is the cheaper option. My friend Jo is a heating pro and she knows quite a lot about the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C field and water heating systems so I will send Jo a message too and see what she thinks. I don’t want to run out of overheated water come the Winter because I need overheated baths to moderate myself and others up after I take our icy cold sea dips in the afternoons. The water temp in the sea in the Winter gets down below 55F and after doing a 15 hour dip in it I need a steamy water bath as soon as I get home to moderate myself and others up again. I can particularly be shivering cold when I get home from those dips.
