I mentioned this before. We have a modular house with a gas water heater that has stacking problems. The overflow temp pressure valve is working, in that it closes when the temp gets low enough, but when the water gets too hot and it opens, it creates like a stacking loop, where the burner runs more and it overheats the water and the valve stays open at a trickle, causing cold water to come in the bottom and keep the burner on, while the top is scalding hot. I wish they had water heaters with a circulating pump to avoid this problem and keep the water a uniform temp throughout the tank.
But I've turned this down to the lowest setting, to try to break the cycle and the water is still scalding and the valve is still trickling.
This is getting really frustrating, because the house is too humid from the hot water in that pan and it's causing condensation on my bathroom skylight and too much humidity in the house.
