I kept having a puddle around my water heater, so someone at work suggested I try replacing the pressure relief valve. (I never actually saw any water leaking from anywhere but there would always be a puddle whenever I checked.)
I replaced the PRV and the leaking stopped or so I thought. All was good for 3 days, then on day 4 I had about a half dollar size puddle directly underneath the extension pipe, so I knew the water had come from the PRV.
I wiped it up and all was good for about 3 more days, then BAM! I had the same old puddle around my water heater! I looked up the valve and read the reviews and saw that some other people had problems with that one, so I went to a different store and bought another one and replaced it.
Two days later, same big puddle around my water heater!!!!
Now what? Is it another bad valve? Or is there something else wrong?
Thanks!
