Can you help?
I have an Atwood gas/electric 10 gallon water heater with a leak somewhere. Water accumulates in the styrofoam casing the water heater is housed in and eventually spills over the lip when it reaches that point. I haven't removed the heater to inspect the tank yet, but that will be my next step unless you can suggest something.
I have checked the connections for the cold water intake, the hot water output and the electric heating element. The pressure relief valve is functioning correctly. This leads me to believe there is a leak in the tank itself, but it appears it only leaks when the system is under pressure, either using the pump or an outside water source and the leak is not present when the water is heating by either gas or electric sources.
If it is a leaking tank - is is possible to have it welded or will I need to replace the tank? |
