The cold water line downstream from the water heater is siphoning water from the water heater causing the cold water to be warm when it come out of the faucet. What do I do?
There is a "T" that feeds the water heater and then keeps going to a few outlets. If I turn off the valve to the heater I get cold water downstream. Is there such a thing as a one way valve going to the water heater to prevent this siphon?
What you seem to be describing is a "retro circualtion system bypass".
2. I found these "T"s under each sink. Hot water into the left and up on the left, Cold water on the right and up on the right.. then lines went up to the faucets.
3. Taking them apart and looking at them.. it ends up if the water got "too hot" it would release pressure and hot water into the cold water side of the T.
This is awkward, but...
