We have an electric water heater that's connected to the sewer line (at the relief valve). It started leaking from the relief valve. I wanted to please ask:
* Is it a good idea to have the relief valve connected to the sewer line in case it leaks? In case it leaks from the relief valve, it's hard to tell. I am not sure if we should continue to have the relief valve connected to the sewer line.
* if the relief valve is leaking water, should I just replace the relief valve? I think it's a matter of just draining the tank and removing/installing with pipe thread. Is there anything else I should do know to relieve pressure before replacing the relief valve.
* If our electric water heater leaks from the relief valve, can this cause our electric bill to increase?
I appreciate your time and views. Thanks!
