Water Hoses with aluminum connectors create electrolysis connecting them to a brass hose bib, this difference in metal creates are bond so strong , the hose bib will have to be removed and replaced. Only buy water hoses with brass connections, therefore brass connecting with brass will not seal tight and cause any damage in the removal process. Another Idea is the add a quick connection garden detachment or a brass valve from the garden section to easily disconnect water hoses for storage. Removing hoses and closing the hose bib is the only way to check for leaks, also since the hose is off, check water pressure is in between the correct PSI 45-55-60 max, if the pressure is over this PSI, then you will need to call a Licensed Plumber.
In Melbourne Florida and all over the nation, a Hot Water Heater Expansion tank services the purpose of protecting your hot water heater and water pipes from Thermal Expansion. Thermal Expansion occurs when hot water heats up and expands, just as in the car or truck the radiator needs an expansion tank as the fluid heaters up and needs more space from expansion. The Water Heater Expansion Tank as a rubber Blatter inside which needs to have the same PSI as the water pressure, use a tire gauge on top of the expansion tank to check the pressure. Factory air pressure on a new tank should be 39psi, if you have 55psi which is the standard pressure, the tank should match the same psi for the tank to maintain the space needed to allow for expansion. How to Check existing Expansion Tanks On existing systems the tank Blatter should be checked, if the Blatter is broken, the tank needs to be replaced. 1st Turn off the Electrical Power to the hot water heater 2nd Turn off the water supply. 3rd Drain down the water out of the system. 4th remove cap off of the expansion tank and check with a tire gauge the pressure on the expansion tank, if 39psi or greater, the inside blatter is in working order, increase the psi as needed to match the supply pressure. 5th turn on water and wait till all air is out of the system. 6th and final step is the turn back on the water heater electrical supply. Hot water heaters and water pipes will last a lot longer when the proper Expansion Tank is installed into a system weather it is a tankless system or a tank system, prevention is the safe pathway to less plumbing bills, plumbing emergencies, and plumbing water down time.
In Florida, Melbourne, and all over Plumbing fixtures such as hose bibs, Toilet fill valves, clothes washer machines, dishwashers, ice machines can damage your plumbing water lines by turning off the supply off too soon. Plumbing machine on/off valves cause a fast hammering effect on water lines which can push joints to their breaking points. Hose bibs with quick 90 shut offs can cause hammering effect as well, closing them slowly will prevent hammering effect. Machine valves such as Clothes washer valves should have Air Hammers installed next to valves to soften the hammer effect. Older homes often do not have them close to the valves, mostly on the main line relying on air in the upper chamber in the attic. Slamming sink faucets, kitchen faucets also cause damage and should be closed slowly to prevent hammering effect. There are Air Hammers adapters that can be added to the bottom of toilets between the fill valve and the supply line, as well as Hose bibs for clothes washer machines, sink supply lines and more.
