Irrigation and Water Heaters

Maybe you are not sure what this has to do with gardening. Last week when I watered the garden and went in to take a shower there was no water coming from the hot water faucet. After a few minutes the water ran. Monday the same thing happened; but the water did not run again until the next afternoon. I did some research on the internet Tuesday.

The research suggested that the bottom was probably clogged. That does not really make sense; but it will definitely be checked. Tuesday night the hot water was fine. When I water tonight, the intake to the hot water will be turned off to keep the water from siphoning out of the water heater.

Saturday morning the heater will be drained. Hot water will not be good for the garden, nor will the water full of sludge. I guess that water will just be wasted.
