Amtrol indirect is 30 years old, attached to a relatively new (3 years old) propane-fired boiler. Just yesterday I noticed that a small amount of water was being expelled from the pressure-relief valve on top; it seems to happen just after the boiler shuts off when hot water has been called for. FWIW, to my surprise, the water being spit out was room temperature, not hot. I've experienced this two times now, so it seems to be a repeating problem.
A little more to the back-story... The day prior I noticed I wasn't getting hot water for my shower. I've replaced all the Honeywell zone valves in the past few years EXCEPT this one, so no surprise this one now seemed to be failing. The motor case for the valve was warm to the touch - like perhaps it was continually trying to work. I rapped in it a bit with a hammer and seemed to get it un-stuck and got a batch of hot water made.
I certainly need to replace the valve and I will do that first. Just wondering if there could be any relation between this issue and the tank spouting off. Or do I really have two separate failures going on here?
