Take off the inlet or cold water supply at the top of the tank. Use your little finger and pull the pipe out, if you can. If the pipe isn't there, Get a new diverter pipe and slide it in the hole and reconnect the supply line. If the pipe is corroded, replace it. If you have to make your own pipe, Flare out a piece of soft copper tubing and cut the pipe about 1 foot from the bottome of tank.

How do I check the diverter Pipe? What am I looking for? Is it ok to drain the water from the hot water tank in to the commode? At 11:56 AM 12/17/2008, you wrote: >It could be one of to things.
