    PRV problem
    We installed a geyser a couple of weeks ago and pressure tested and everything and everything was fine (no leaks) then the electrician came through and installed the isolator for the geyser and every since there has been heated water in the system the PRV has been leaking out the top... The PRV is above the geyser just before the cold water enters the geyser. If it is the expansions from the hot water, do you suggest we move the PRV further away from the draincock.

    Thanks
