I fired up the water heater and was happy to have hot water
...But then I noticed water leaking out of the bottom of the trailer
I realized that the heater was leaking but thought oh what the hell, so I'm leaking a little out the bottom. But then after 2 days I noticed a pool of water in my rear bath
I have since shut the heater down assuming that the leaks are worse under the pressure of the heat?? My questions are...
1. As I can find no other source of leaks I am assuming that the heater is leaking not just through the bottom and out the pan. Has anyone had this experience?
and
2. As a new heater may have to wait till the end of summer has anyone run a simple heater bypass? The water heater fills first (ergo leaks first) even when the heater is not lit.
Thanks,
Ken.
