After taking a 10 minute shower this morning, I went to the basement and noticed there was a gallon or so of water on the floor and water trickling out of where the hot and cold water pipes connect at the top of the water heater. Not sure if it is the TP&R valve because the water is not leaking from there.
After draining a couple of gallons from the water heater and waiting for about an hour for the system to settle down, I turned the water back on. To my dismay the problem seems to be getting worse! Water came gushing out of the top of the tank.
The tank is almost 6 yers old but is in good shape. I had a water softner system installed shortly after the house was built in 1999. Flushed the system but the water was clear with only a few sediments. Anybody have a solution or comment?
