Hi all, I went on vacation and forgot to turn my water heaters to vacation! When I returned the water was cold coming through the faucet. After some investigation I realised the water heater pump had tripped the trip switch on the main electric panel. I reset it and thought all would be fine. Now it is OK for a day or two and then it trips the electric panel again. Any Ideas on what is the matter and how I might fix it? The water heaters themselves are fine and are burning all OK. Many Thanks!
My water heaters are only 3 years old and I just replaced the elements in both 3 months ago as they both went at the same time???? The water heaters are working fine, as the pilot is lite and they are burning ok but the water pump seems to be what is tripping the electric panel?
sounds like you have dual gas waterheaters, and the recirculating pump isn't doing what it shoudl be?
if somehow, there is a short in the electronics of the pump, it would cause the electrical panel to trip.
Still sounds like an electrician would be your first best bet, since it's not strictly a plumbing issue, but also electrical problem.
Those pumps are designed to run with about 65 to 150watts power, which would NEVER cause the breaker to trip.
If the breaker is weak, or there is an electrical problem that caused the breaker to weaken, an electrician will still be the better bet than even just having the pump replaced or calling in a plumber.
