Mine didn't have a shut off before the pressure tank, but it does now. That was my fix. Thanks for the reply.

Lucky me :)

Yes, I'm talking about the shut off valve in the picture. What was stopping me was the constant flow of water coming in to the house. I wasn't just unscrewing the old valve and threading the new one on, that would have been doable. I was coming off the drain valve with an elbow and then going...

Bummer, that wasn't part of my plan.

Thanks Jeff for the response. I have my house plumbing disconnected from the pressure tank, see the pics. I have the switch to the well pump turned off, the well pump is not running. I put a garden hose on the drain valve and had it draining to my sump pump just to see if it would stop...

Hoping someone can help me. I'm doing a little plumbing work and plan to replace the main shut off valve in the process. I have the well power turned of, the pressure tank is empty and the house is completely drained. The problem I'm having is that water will not stop flowing from the...

OK, thanks

I don't think they'll go for electric. I think what I need to do is go up there and see for myself if the flame just goes out on it's own, or if it's being extinguished from water dripping down on it. Thanks for the help so far.

Is there any way to stop this from happening? Maybe a water heater designed with this problem in mind?

My in-laws live in northern Michigan and are on a well. They have VERY cold tap water, rear round. When they have a high demand for hot water, like company or laundry, the burner will go out. Apparently, they've heard sizzling and popping sounds and they think it's condensation dripping onto...

Thank you Dunbar, good information. If I were to replace mine like your video shows, what would happen to the black plastic piece shown in the picture of my first post? Is that piece just for a fiberglass shower? It still doesn't make sense to me because my valve only rotated slightly and...

I'm thinking the demons are getting in from the well :eek:.

Thank you for the response. I just got out of the shower, no drips. Maybe it's possessed.

It's tough to indicate exactly where the leak is coming from because I can't get at the back side of it, I have no access panel there...yet. I circled a drip on the picture and put an arrow on the housing. It seems the leak is right at the connection where the housing attaches to the four way...

My shower valve had been dripping for some time. I was surprised to get a free replacement from Delta, so I figured it was time to replace it. I had a hard time unscrewing the bonnet. I used vinegar to help loosen the crusty deposits, but I still needed channel locks to remove it. I don't...
