Re: Gas water heater (dux prodigy) noisy one way valve

Hello @zillah 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about your one-way valve.

 

Just a friendly reminder that any plumbing work must be carried out by a licensed plumber for safety and compliance.

 

I propose engaging the services of a licensed plumber as they will be able to determine if the one-way valve is actually malfunctioning. If it is malfunctioning, your plumber will be able to safely shut down your gas water heater and remove the faulty valve. Once that has been repaired, they will turn your gas heater back on. The repair was done to code and is covered under the plumber's warranty. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
