Picture this: you’re enjoying a nice warm shower when all of a sudden the water turns ice cold. We’ve all been there and it’s not a great place to be. The average American uses about ten gallons of water per-shower, whereas the average water heater is about 50 gallons. If one shower taking 20% of your hot water doesn’t sound appealing to you, you may consider buying a water heater booster.

What’s a Booster?

A booster is a small accessory device that is installed directly on the water line of or over the water heater. It’s designed to improve just about every aspect of your water heater: pressure, capacity, and efficiency. Be it gas, electric, or even solar, a booster acts as an all around improvement to your water heater no matter its variety.

Oftentimes, it’s easy for home or business owners to look the other way when a large, expensive component inside their house begins acting up. The thought of having to shell out massive amounts of money is enough to make everyone forget about the issue or tell themselves it’ll be ok for now.

On the other hand, when it comes to some of these major components, it’s pertinent that you drift away from this mindset, and approach an issue head on. With your water heater specifically, there are a few things that can aid in your determination if it’s due for replacement.

Loss of Hot Water

Of course, the main focus of a hot water heater is to provide you with exactly that — hot water! Barring some other issue associated with the home or building you’re in, there may be…

As such, its installation, and making sure that process is done professionally and correctly, is of the utmost importance.

In the interest of clearing the air, we’ve narrowed down the four most wide-spread misconceptions about water heaters. Time to set the record straight.
