: Wendy:–Im not sure about how you had the pressure washer connected to your water heater, but there is a distinct possibiity that the dip tube has collapsed, and is not allowing water into the tank ????? Bud…Bud, What is a dip tube? I does look like we are not getting H20 to the tank, but we think it is the main value at the top of the heater. The value handle just spins, feels like it is stripped out. We are going to replace that and the pop off valve that bewl out and see what happens. Thanks, I am glad that there is someone out there that can help.

Thanks, I am glad that there is someone out there that can help.I have drawings of water heaters on my website (http://www.chilipepperapp.com) that shows the dip tube. The dip tube routes the incoming cold water down to the bottom of the water heater.Bill
