Can I get a water heater that doesn't say 'Thank You!" (sounds actually like 'Tank You!') every time I use the hot water?

Mine doesn’t speak to me. Perhaps he is mad at me.

Why are you complaining?
I can’t get respect from any of my appliances, large or small.
In fact, my fridge grumbles every time I open the door.

Granted I’ve never really looked, but surely there are some non-speaking water heaters on the market.

I’m grateful you did not call it a hot water heater.

An On Demand water heater won’t do that.
I guess you could try and find a Klingon Water Heater. I don’t think they have a word for Thank You.

You need the “DI” heater. “So mama’s baby wants a HOT shower does he? Suck it up you sissy. There’ll be no hot water in hell!!”

Perhaps there are no flexible copper lines going to and fro at the top. Sounds are usually made by expanding /contracting water pipes.

What? If your water heater is talking to you, you might need a vacation. :)

Sounds absolutely dreadful! I had something here recently that spoke to me. It was out the door the next day!

I’ve never heard of a talking water heater!

Actually, I think it’s trying to give me an example of how grateful I should be to have hot water.

This water tank as a hard, boring job staying in one place. I admit it has been faithful and underappreciated. I never say ‘thank you’ to it, for what all it does.

Unless you have one of those new ‘on demand’ water heaters (which don’t need thanking) we should remember to appreciate our old tank water heaters. Its a tedious and underappreciated job,

I thank my AC when it comes on.
