installed a new electric water heater a little more than a year ago. Lately I’ve noticed some days it’ll drip a little, (TP valve) and some days it drips/leaks quite a bit more. Only two of us in the house, but sometimes I hear it make “noise”, as if a shower was running. But no water running anywhere. Also, lately when feeling the lines at the top, the Cold line has some warmth to it for about a foot or two, and the Hot line is warm/hotter.
I’ve exercised the TP valve several times, but no change. I’m going to install a new valve tomorrow and see what happens.
(Thermostats set on 120, 40 gal. Tall tank...original 30 gal. model didn’t have an expansion tank, I didn’t put one in)
Any ideas?
Thanks much.
