Of course, if its high enough as will it the pumbing etc... the question is how high is it actually right now.

To add to Smoothys questions. Well or city water> And if on the city do you have a PRV (pressure reducing valve? If the PSI is too high the T&P valve on 6the heater will open up and save the heater, however Smoothy's correct. High water can, and will, damage your faucets and put your pipes and fittings under a strain. Answer smoothy, what's your house PSI? Back to you, Tom
