Operational Conditions

SMELLY WATER

In each glasslined water heater there is installed at least one

anode rod (see parts section) for corrosion protection of the tank. Certain water conditions will cause a reaction between this

rod and the water. The most common complaint associated with [h e anode rod isone of a ¢¢rotten egg smell , . This. odor ,s. derived. from hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. The smell is the result of four factors which must all be present for the odor to develop:

EXPANSION

a.a concentration of sulfate in the supply water. b. little or no dissolved oxygen in the water•

c.a sulfate reducing bacteria within the water heater. (This harmless bacteria is non-toxic to humans.)

d.an excess of active hydrogen in the tank• This is caused by the corrosion protective action of the anode.

Smelly water may be eliminated or reduced in some water heater models by replacing the anode(s) with one of less active material, and then chlorinating the water heater tank and all hot water lines. Contact Sears Service for further information concerning an Anode Replacement Kit #9001453 and this Chlorination

T[eatment.

lfthe smelly water persists after the anode replacementand chlo- rination treatment, we can only suggest that continuous chlori- nation and filtering conditioning equipment be considered to eliminate the water problem.

Do not removethe anode leaving the tank unprotected. By doing so, all warranty on the water heatertank is voided.

STRANGE SOUNDS

Possible noises due to expansion and contraction of some metal Karts during periods of heat-up and cool-down do not represent

armful or dangerous conditions.

Condensation causes sizzling and popping with the burner area

during heating and cooling periods and should be considered normal• See "Condensation" section.

"AIR" IN HOT WATER FAUCETS

AWARNING

HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a be4 water systemthat hasnot been used_r a long period of tirm (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremel_

flammable and explosive.To prevent the possibilityof injur_ under these conditions,we recommend the hot water fauce

be openedfor several minutes at the kitchen sink before any electrical applianceswhich are connectedto the hot water sys- tem are used (such as a dishwasheror washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual soundsimilar to air escapingthrough the pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open flame near the faucetat the time it isopen.
