I had to replace my water heater recently and since the new one was installed the following has happened:
• kept getting water from the T&P valve
• water pressure in the house seemed to be higher
• the installer replaced the T&P valve
• continued to get water from the T&P
• the installer reduced the water pressure via regulator
• water in house has big spike of pressure when turning on
• T&P situation worsens, I am emptying a 3 gallon bucket several times a day now
• a toilet supply line has busted
Here is what I know about my situation:
• we have very high water pressure in our neighborhood (spiking to at least 165psi)
• the issues described above did not exist before the new water heater
• the pressure regulator for the house is in the garage by the water heater - I don't know if the installer changed the way it was hooked up, but I know he did work on those pipes
What I am trying to figure out:
• Are my issues coincidence or are they related to the water heater installation?
• If they are related, is the installer responsible?
• Is there a way to get Metro Water to reduce the water pressure into the sub-division
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
