Installed a S.E.T.S. tankless heater about 10 years ago. Even though it's supposed to do a whole house, I only have it connected to the shower. It has worked great for all this time until a few days ago. During a shower, I heard a loud pop and then had COLD water! Upon examination, the outlet pipe from the heater had blown apart at a 90 degree elbow about 4 inches from the heater. I didn't think it was possible for the water to get hot enough to melt the solder. Could it have been a faulty solder joint even though it has worked fine for 10 years and never leaked? Any thoughts?
