Hope to get some insights before calling professional.
Issues:
Cold water.
If temp is set high, gas burner is ON.
After few minutes, water will start to leak out of overflow pipes.
Water coming out of overflow pipe is warm.
After few minutes of shutting off the burner (by turing the temp setting to low), water stops leaking from the overflow pipe.
When draining the water thru the drain valve, water flow is not uniform with lots of calcium carbonate (?).
I am wondering if I should attemp to replace T&P valve or Thermocouple.
Or start looking at a new gas water heater.
Any advise will be most appreciated.
Thanks
