Ventilation
If you have a gas water heater, make sure it is installed in a well-ventilated area. Incidents of asphyxiation are common when a geyser is operated in closed space.

Pressure valve
Water heaters have a safety valve to release pressure. Do not remove this valve as some technicians suggest to increase the water flow in taps.
