I was convinced my old Raritan water heater was leaking.....after a
close inspection yesterday with the assistance of a mechanic familiar
with these issues, we concluded it was not leaking. The wooden platform
it sits on was dry, pressure valve outlet dry, valve to empty the tank
on the bottom was dry, all connections in and out were dry.
The mechanic said to leave the pressure pump on....after the system is
pressurized it should stay off....if it comes back on without running
water, chances are the system has a leak. After several hours, it did
not come back on.
The mechanic did not have time yesterday to trouble shoot the source of
the leak....he said to inspect every connection which might entail
placing newspapers or paper towels under each to try to determine where
the water ic coming from.
It is good news in one respect but frustrating in another. I'll keep
the list posted.
