Hello all,
I have a ~10 year old natural gas water heater (RHEEM 21V40-7) - 40gl. which seems to have developed a weird leak.
Every once in a while there is a small amount of water dripping out of the water outlet of the unit. This is where you would flush the tank I assume, as it has no valve on it, but a small white plastic piece with an open female water hose connector. It usually drips a little and than stops, last week it dripped, so I put in 2gb water bucket under it, today the bucket was filled to the max. It has since stopped leaking.
Any ideas?
Also, I have been itching about getting a tankless water heater, are they worth the headache of finding out the temperature vs GPM issues? If I were to buy one I would need it to be for the whole house.
Thank you.
