Folks,
The blowoff valve on our 9 year old water heater started leaking about 4 weeks ago. The valve was new with the water heater.
I replaced it with a new valve: The new valve started leaking the same day. The heater is leaking about 1 gallon per day.
I bled the system of air thru the new valve. I still need to bleed the heater thru the lower valve.
I checked the water pressure today: 70 psi. As best I can tell the system does not have a pressure expansion tank.
The heater tank appears to be fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do next?
Thanks,
Rog
