I would appreciate any input here as I feel totally lost and don't know where to start. Google was no help so I am trying the forums. If you can help please reply.
Yesterday,I found a leak coming from my water heater (its a 6 year old Bradford White 48 gallon - not under warranty as it was a replacement for an older one that died under warranty). I looked at it and water was coming from the "space heater outlet" - the plastic cap was blown off and underneath it was what looked like a plastic bag that had a small hole in it and water was squirting out of that whole. I have since cleaned up as much as I could and shut off the water in and out of the heater.
Can someone help diagnose this for me, will I need to replace the heater or can I just put the cap back on?
thank you very much in advance for any replies!!
