Home Water Heater Fixed

Hi,
I searched for an answer to the problems I was having with my water heater (OK, hot water heater as it's more commonly known). Google led me to this post:

This heats water just like in a steam humidifier but generates a lot of gas. If you have the skill to safely test the element with a multimeter you will see. It is almost always the lower element.

Thanks to this forum and more specifically randydevinney
