Yes you're totally right because that is how life happens!!!
We had already started the research about which water heater to buy but when the dishwasher recently broke it trumped the WH purchase. : / At least we got to take advantage of Black Friday for that.
Thanks again for your thoughts.
Thank you both for your input!
We don't have an expansion tank or an in line pressure reducing value. We do have occasional water pressure drops that end with a surge back up to pressure. I'm not sure if this is the same as the water hammer.
Since the hot water heater is 22 years old I'll...
Yes your assumption is correct. No continuous drip. It seemed to release water then stop. It did not release more water when my kid showered shortly after the original release.
We did not make any adjustments to the water heater temperature. We did need to swap out the existing dishwasher...
Just after installing a new dishwasher today we noticed water had dripped from our hot water pressure valve. Would anyone know if this could somehow be related to the dishwasher installation?
