Water heaters can stop working partially or completely due to a loss in water pressure. This is caused by several issues. The TPR valve will open if the water temperature or pressure gets too high. If the valve still leaks after being flushed, then it will most likely need repaired or replaced.

How does a hot water heater reduce heat loss?

Placing a demand heater close to the appliance that uses the hot water cuts down on heat loss along pipes. Insulation wraps for storage heaters reduce standby heat loss. Insulated pipes limit heat loss for both, allowing lower temperature settings. Efficiencies might limit burn time in a demand heater and decrease standby time in a storage heater.
