Anonymous users2024-01-24Is your water heater solar-powered or electric or gas-heated?
If it is an electric water heater, it should be a leak in the hot water pipe;
Because electric water heaters are all top water out, cold water goes in to push hot water out; As you said, the water heater does not leak when the inlet valve is not opened, and the water leakage after the inlet valve is opened is because the cold water enters the hot water pipeline through the water heater, and the leakage at this time is the hot water pipeline leakage.
This can only determine if there is a leak between your inlet and return, and at what stage the leak needs to be further checked.
The small yellow valve you said, is it on the cold water inlet of the water heater, if so, it should be a pressure relief valve, if your cold water valve is open and it is dripping, it is recommended that you let the after-sales service overhaul it.
The circuit is connected incorrectly, it is recommended to find your decorator to reconnect it.
Gas water heaters are water-controlled and have a minimum water flow requirement, which is not met, and the water heater cannot release gas and turn on the ignition and cannot be used. >>>More
If the empty opening does not have a leakage warranty, then the possibility of short-circuit fault of the electric water heater is relatively large, and if the empty opening is leaked with a leakage warranty, the possibility of leakage of the electric water heater cannot be ruled out, and a comprehensive detection and analysis is required to eliminate the fault.
