Either the entry valve for the H/W tank is not fully opening or your tank is sludged up. The average life of a H/W tank is about 12 years, but homeowners seem to think they will last forever - NOT so.

How did pre electricity fountains work?
In ancient times the fountains worked through principle of pressure. Water used to come from a source at higher point, and fed to the fountain while building up pressure.
Why does water boil when the vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure?
Because while atmospheric pressure is the greater of the two the vapour pressure of the water can not spontaneously form bubbles (ie boil).
. If a sample of water is boiling while the external pressure is 505 kPa what is the vapor pressure of the water?
120 kP
Can boiling points of liquids be altered by pressure?
yes they can like water if you remove all the pressure form a vial and have water in it the water will boil at room temp. while if you add pressure to water it is harder to boil.
The amount of water pressure you experience while swimming in a pool depends on what?
how deep you are in the water.
Can a house be rented out while financed through your company?
You need to review the documents you signed when you financed your house through your company.
At what pressure is high pressure water cleaning performed?
Hydrocleaning has various levels. "Low-pressure water cleaning" uses water pressure less than 5,000 psi, while "High-pressure water cleaning" uses water pressure between 5,000 to 10,000 psi. Higher still is "High-pressure water jetting" which is between 10,000 to 25,000 psi, and finally "Ultrahigh-pressure water jetting" uses pressures above 25,000 psi.
What does wade mean?
Waded means to walk in water, sand, or snow while partially immersed
What could be wrong if you installed a new sink in the basement and there is no hot water pressure in the house?
One of the valves that you closed while hooking up the hot water to the sink was probably an old gate valve... It broke and did not fully re-open.
Why is atmospheric pressure and water pressure different?
The big reason is because air is air, and water is water. The second reason is because air is compressible, while water cannot be compressed. What that means is that if you compress air to twice the pressure, it will be one-half the volume. If you compress water to be twice the pressure, the volume won't change.
What is the definition of osmotic potential?
What is osmotic potential?Osmotic potential is defined as the ability of a solution to suck water in if it was separated from another solution by a semi-permeable (meaning water gets through, but not the solution) membrane. This means that if you have pure water next to salt water, separated by such a membrane, the pure water would run over to the saltwater, while the water in the saltwater would stay where it is. Water, then, always moves towards a higher concentration, from high pressure to low pressure. This is also how trees get water from the roots up to the canopy, as they don't have beating heart like we do. The plants use their osmotic potential to transport water through the cells from the bottom (roots) where the osmotic pressure is high, to the top (canopy) where the osmotic pressure is low. As the water is transported up, the osmotic pressure in the roots sinks, allowing more water to run in from the soil.
Why does the upper radiator hose have no pressure?
Under normal circumstances it will have some pressure just less than the bottom hose. The bottom hose is directly pressurized by the water pump while the upper hose acts as a return hose to keep the water flowing through the engine block. If there is no pressure you could be low on radiator fluid (water/anti freeze mixed) or have a thermostat stuck open.
