removing heater

[gregory O]

It sounds like the potable tank or delivery plumping to the pump has the leak
and the water runs out in several places. It might leak out a crack in a fitting
or split in the tank and thru capillarity and molecular attraction stream down
pipes only to show up in other places.

If it is freeze damage there may be several splits. I was always curious why
members here complain that the tank fills slowly. Experiencing the same, I
intended to modify my fill system but fear that the inlet restriction keeps the
square tank from being filled to quickly which would lift the top and split the
tank??????


I would look at the tank (in the 94pt under the bed). take a wad of blue toilet
paper and wipe it around the base and fittings looking for evidence of water.
Blue and yellow toilet paper turns dark when wets up. ( you need to have water
in the tank and be doing the same things that prompt the leaking water Tanks
are not that expensive and you dont need the same exact size, just one that fits
the area.
