I recently got a new water heater installed (a 75 gallon AO Smith powervent), about two months ago. In the last 3 or so weeks, I've noticed that the pressure relief valve has discharged a few times - maybe 3 or 4 times. Each discharge is maybe a couple of pints of water, I'd guess.
Is this normal? My previous heater, a 20-year-old Lochnivar, never discharged during the 5 or so years that I've owned the house.
Thanks for any help.
