I'm wondering if the 12 year guaranteed GE water heater that I installed 5 years ago is going out. We live in an old house in Minneapolis where we don't have too bad a problem with water salts. I don't have a softener.
Anyway, the leak is at the top of the water heater. I can't tell where, because you can't actually see the water leaking out, but you can see a puddle in each of the three places where there are tubes attached to the top of the tank: at the cold-in, the hot-out, and the presure-release-thingy. The water is all rusty. I'm wondering if it's just the presure-valve-thingy.
Any thoughts?
I'll post a follow-up when I know more.
Thanks for hosting this forum!
