Water Heater Safety
Under certain conditions Hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been
used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE EXPLOSIVE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or
injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes before
using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This will allow any
hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or
appliance during this process.
