Re: Water Heater Help
x2 on the scald safety valve. Not too familiar with them being the maintenance for most of our properties take care of the simple plumbing like that in house. Have never seen one that relied on pressure from both sides to close. Could have an issue there that is small now but could develop and get worse. If the cold water can push through, then with faucet off it could be bleeding cold water into the hot side and vice versa, depending on where there is more pressure. For instance, the water is at a stop at shower faucet, you open a cold water valve reducing pressure on that side allowing the hot water then to push through faucet into cold. Typically when I run into these issues it is cold water bleeding into hot preventing hot water coils from properly heating.
