A hot water tank will tick when the temperature of the water is reached and it is starting to cool down. The ticking is because the metal of the tank is warm on the inside and a little cooler on the outside.

What happens when the cold and hot water pipes are reversed on the hot water tank?

You will get warm instead of hot water. There is a tube inside the tank on the cold side that goes to the bottom of the tank and the hot comes directly from the top. Reverse them and you are going to get the cold water that settles to the bottom of the tank. It will not hurt the tank or anything, it just makes for poor hot water.


How does a hot water tank work?

A hot water tank works by storing and heating water inside an insulated tank using electricity or gas. When a hot water tap is turned on, the hot water is released from the tank and replaced by cold water that is then heated up for future use. This cycle continues to provide a steady supply of hot water for household needs.
