Cold Water Pressure

[dthollis1961]

Bill,

I had water pressure problems with my 84FC that were different than
yours, but maybe there is some connection. My air operated valve on
the cold water intake of the WH has 3 lines run to it:Cold water
line, air line, and drain line. As I see it, my valve only controls
filling and draining of the water heater with the blow-out plumbing
being elsewhere. After draining the HWH, I could get very little
HOT water pressure. Thanks to Tom W., I found that the air operated
valve was stuck between the "fill" and "drain" positions. I took
the end cap off of the valve and manually moved it to the "fill"
position and that took care of the problem. It takes air to move my
valve to "drain", but there must be a spring in there to move it
back to "fill". Sounds like yours if plumbed differently, but maybe
something is up with that air valve.
