I have a Rheem Elect Hot Water heater that is about 11 years old. The
hot water it puts out is not so hot anymore. I am wanting to replace
the elements and possibly the thermostats too. I have never done this
before. Have any of you? Any tips would be appreciated.





Most electric hot water heaters are simple to fix if that is your
problem. The easiest way is to first turn off the power to the unit,
disconnect one of the wires to the elements, and using an ohm meter
determine which element is open. If you find an element open it is
unlikely that you need to replace the thermostats as well.

Before you kill yourself, TURN OFF THE FRIGGIN' POWER!

Which part of "first turn off the power to the unit" didn't you understand?

A young boy went up to his father and asked him," Dad, what is the difference between potentially and realistically?" The father thought for a moment, then answered, "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars. Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and ask your brother if he'd sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars. Come back and tell me what you learn from that."

So the boy went to his mother and asked, "Would you sleep with Robert
Redford for a million dollars?" The mother replied, "Of course I would! I wouldn't pass up an opportunity like that!"

The boy went to his sister and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars? "The girl replied, "Oh my God! I would just love to do that! I would be nuts to pass up that opportunity!"

The boy went to his brother and asked, "Would you sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars?" "Of course", the brother replied. "Do you know how much a million could buy?"

The boy pondered that for a few days, then went back to his dad. His father asked him, "Did you find out the difference between potentially and realistically?"

The boy replied, "Yes, sir. Potentially, we're sitting on three million dollars, but realistically, we're living with two sluts and a fag."
