Discovered yet another casualty of the FW shock treatment. My hot water tank

with it temporarily by shutting off the HW tank at the AC distribution panel
after a couple of hours....could be just a coincidence, or could be that I used
a lot more bleach than Peggie recommends and discovered a couple of weak spots
as a result.


Sheesh, Chuck...did you follow ANY of the directions??? )

"Before beginning, turn off hot water heater at the breaker; do not turn
it on again until the entire recommissioning is complete."

Don't be surprised if the diaphragm in your water pump is the next to
go....'cuz that much bleach certainly didn't do it any good!
