Water heater
Put a new water heater in last June not knowing under new govt
regulation there is a filter on the bottom of all new water heaters
that directs any fumes, spilled paint thinner etc., back into the water
heater tank so it will explode in the tank and not outside of it.
Good safety mechanism, but if it gets wet, like mine due to sump failure
the whole water heater must be replaced.
If you have water problems good idea to put the WH on block
to prevent what happened to me.
Live and learn, hope the info saves somebody on the site some $$.
