Just wondering if this sounds like something that would concern you...
Tenant increased the gas water heater temperature on the thermostat recently because she wasn't getting hot water fast enough in the bathroom furthest away from the water heater. It's about '5 minutes' past the optimal temperature line marked on the dial.
Water is nowhere near boiling hot, but I'm wondering if that's enough to cause the TP valve to open.
It let out a small puddle of water.
Does this sound like normal function to you? I mean if someone turned the dial all the way to HOT, would the TP valve open frequently?
There are no shut off valves or expansion tank on this water heater.
I'm in los angeles county.
