My hot water heater has an expansion tank off its feed. The water supply is municipal with a prv. The other day I turned on the water heater when the house was about 50 degrees. I observed later water on the kitchen floor. It appears to me the water blew by the compression fittings on the sink supply, its a hard supply line. Perhaps not the worst thing that could have happened. Now I checked the expansion tank and found the charge at 12psi. The bladder appears intact, no water comes out the valve only air, and it accept a charge to 60psi. The Tank probably dates to about 2012, I was not the owner then but that's when the water heater was installed. Do I need to replace the tank or just check the charge more often?
