33 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Start Up Conditions Thermal Expansion As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion). In a closed system, the volume of water will grow . As the volume of water grows, there will be a corresponding increase in water pressure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expansion can cause premature tank failure (leakage). This typ[...]

34 Condensation Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water , some condensate will form while the burner is on. A water heater may appear to be leaking when in fact the water is condensation. This usually happens when: • A new water heater is filled with cold water for the first time. • Burning gas produces water vapor In water heaters,[...]

35 B. *Condensation may be seen on pipes in humid weather or pipe connections may be leaking. C. *The anode rod fitting may be leaking. D. Small amounts of water from temperature-pressure relief valve may be due to thermal expansion or high water pressure in your area.
