I Recently replaced my hot water heater with exact same model as I had before. However after I installed the new water heater the pressure relief valve began to leak. Both water heaters are table top water heaters with the pressure relief valve located on top of the water heater directly in the center. The old heater pressure relief valve wasn't even piped. I could tell by the lack of any water stains of any kind that the pressure relief valve had never leaked or if so very little.
I called the manufacturer after the new water tank's pressure valve began leaking and fortunately they sent me a new one. Replaced it and piped it up according to the manufacturers specifications six inches above the floor. It also leaks about 1 to 2 cups of water daily. Turned the water pressure down to the point where the water barely ran and it still leaks. Also turned the water temperature down to 120 degrees with the same result. Two exact same water heaters with the exact same setup except the new heater pressure relief valve is piped (like it should be) and it won't quit leaking. At this point I don't know. Any comments is greatly appreciated.
