Isolate it from the water supply then replace the defective valve
On a round valve handle you normally turn it clockwise to close .
There is usually a main water valve that comes into the house, locate this valve and turn it down. Installing a pressure reducing valve after water main valve will allow for adjustment of water pressure to proper setting.
You turn off the water valve before it -probably on the sidewalk, or just on your front yard. Then remove the main valve and replace it. NOT a job for amateurs. I hope you have some experience at least.
A valve in the Plumbing sense is a mechanical device to open or close the water flow. It can be a screw operation called a 'Gate Valve' or a simple 1/4 turn handle called a 'Ball Valve' . These are more modern and efficient.
Have you rotated the gas valve knob to "run". Have you turned up the thermostat? Is the pump running? No pump water flow - no heat -- no filtration. Is the filter clean? When was the last time you cleaned the filter? Ken

A common mistake is assuming that the tank valve (to which the knob is attached) is closed. It may be already open to the maximum, which means that trying to turn the knob counterclockwise to "open" the valve to let the gas flow to the appliance is not possible. Forcing the knob in any way will usually result in breaking the metal at the base of the knob, rendering the knob useless. Before trying to turn the knob counterclockwise, try turning it clockwise to make sure the valve has not been fully opened. Use a cloth wrapped around the knob and slip joint pliers to gently push the knob. Don't use excessive force or you may damage the knob. If you are sure that the valve is closed, but can't be turned counterclockwise, use a penetrating oil, applying liberally at the point where the valve/knob shaft goes into the valve. Keep the tank upright and wait 15 to 20 minutes before attempting to turn the knob again. If all this fails, you may be forced to have a propane expert replace the valve and knob, or buy a new complete tank.
If you have a basement, it will be on the basement wall closest to the street. If you are on a slab, it is most likely next to the water heater. There will be a water meter between the house and the street, there should be a valve there, but it may need a shaped key to turn it and they can be tight.
No, water pressure is immediate. If you replaced the sink faucet you probably ended up with one of the "low flow" faucets that are being produced to save water. Sometimes they can be taken apart and "encouraged" to let more water through. if the valve had no been used in awile the gasket will stick when you turn it off and back on replace the valve with a quarter turn ball type valve and you wont have this problem again
Turn the knob to the left.
Turn off the hot water to your tank and do not use any water -- and leave it off for about 30 min. -- then turn your valve back on and if you hear water going back into tank you have a leak somewhere
could be a lack of pressure, or a lime blockage in the seat of the valve, turn water off to valve, remove the stem, turn water on then back off, this might clear any blockage,
No, the nut on the valve needs to be tighten. When you turn off your faucet, pressure in the line is increased and the seal in the valve is not tight enought to hold back the water. The brass or nylon coupling in the water shutoff valve may also be damaged and need to be replaced.
Mine did the same. The rubber gasket under the valve knob had become messed up. I unscrewed the valve and put the gasket back in place. My local pool place says this happens alot when you turn the valve from backwash to filter while the pump is running.
Did the main water valve get turned back on? They obviously failed to turn your water back on. Call them and complain until they get it right.
You click on the knob and you turn the mouse to turn the knob (roate it) duhhh!
Turn your low beam headlights on and pull the headlight knob out towards you to turn on your fog lights ( push the knob back in away from you to turn the fog lights off )
