I turned the adjustment screw 1/2 turn to the left and ran the water at the spigot right at the tank. The
pump kicked on but I couldn't hear any hiss from that valve. I turned off the water and still could hear nothing.
I turned the screw another 1/2 turn to the left, same thing...nothing. I put my fingers around the unit and
couldn't feel any air being released. I then felt the tank itself and it was cold up to about a foot above where
the AVC is screwed in. Then it got noticeably warmer above that. I would have thought that water should not
go above where the AVC is screwed in. Can anyone confirm that?
It appears I do need to order a new AVC however, the original apparently is no longer made - US Gauge Type WJ .
I have seen some like Ametek who makes a WJ model. Are there different models that handle pressure differently?
One WJ valve says it handles a range of 15 to 40 psi. My tank gauge reads between 50 and 60.
