Joel,

There is a hose on my relief valve that directs any water from it to the bilge.....I will place a container under the hose to see if catches any water.

Thanks for the tip....will let you know what happens.

As I have said before, replace the relief valve. It opened occasionally on my Raritan

    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.
