When there is a fault in any product/machine we can identify the fault with a wise observation and remove by doing the needful e.g. we know that in some products or machines some faults are due to dust, non greasing, over speed and low or high voltage of the electricity. Of course when we are successful to point out the fault, we are able to remove the same by doing the needful. In this article we discuss the water heater maintenance tips.
