30 Gallon Hot Water Heater Relief Valve??
I just had the relief (release?) valve replaced on my Hot Water Heater because it was constantly leaking and dripping. The new one seems to work great because I don't see it dripping anymore. However, I kept a bucket under it to be cautious, and every day there is a little over a cup of clean water in the bucket. Is it normal for the hot water heater to release over a cup of water a day? I am a new homeowner so I am not too skilled on these issues yet. It doesn't seem normal to me but I am not sure.
Thanks for any help.
PS - The temp on the hot water heater is very low, and our hot water consumption is average.
