Water heater pressure relief valve
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi speedball1,
My water heater (gas) is three years old and I never had any problems with it. At the same time, a new "pressure regulator" was also installed on the main line.
Recently, the "main" water valve to the house had to be shut off to replace a "manual valve" in the backyard and then turned on again. Ever since, the water heater relief valve has been "dripping"! At first, it was dripping continuosly and now it drips " off and on. I have "flushed" the valve a few times and the water flows smoothly. Can you please help..?
Thanks a lot.
Ken
