When your hot water tank goes around its 8-9 year birthday, and you shut it off to prevent further leakage.... You also turn off all showers ( cold shower) using mixing valves.......

 

I.e. if you thought you could take a cold shower, until the plumber replaces the hot water heater, you can't

 

+1 to PSEG for replacing it in 50 minutes flat the next business day.

PSEG is awesome all around when it comes to service.

 

Also cold showers aren't bad. Just work up a good sweat outside and take one. Thats how I've been doing it the past couple weeks. and now I can just jump in with no problem.

I have a Ball Valve installed just after my water meter. Any time I need work done, I just throw the ball valve to cut the pressure from the street. Then turn-on water @ deep sink in the basement, which is the lowest line in my system. No rust issues that way. I also bleed air in the lines with the deep sink too!
