Installing a Water Heater and Checking Water Flow

The water heater was installed by first ensuring that the area where it would be mounted was level and suitable for installation. The water supply lines (hot and cold) were connected to the corresponding ports on the heater, ensuring all fittings were tight and sealed with pipe tape or thread sealant to prevent leaks. If it's an electric water heater, the electrical connections were made according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring proper wiring and grounding. For gas water heaters, the gas line was securely connected and checked for leaks. Once installed, the water heater was filled with water, and the system was checked for any leaks around the connections. The thermostat was set to the desired temperature, and the water heater was turned on. The water flow was then tested by running hot water through the taps or shower to ensure the heater was working properly and that hot water was delivered efficiently. The system was checked for consistent temperature and pressure, confirming that the water heater was operating as expected.
