Atwood water heater tank leaking.

If you ve positively ruled out the inlet and outlet to the water heater and the temp pressure relief valve the only 2 other things i can think of are the drain cap on the exterior and the tank itself. You can see the corrosion from minerals in our water it s been doing this a while apparently. Once a pinhole leak is opened up the pressure of the water inside the tank forcing its way through the opening will cause the leak to get larger over time. Any way to repair this.

Otherwise you risk severe damage t. That spells trouble and has to be remedied. Fortunately this trapped air will eventually become entrained in the water as the boat is used and rocks and bounces around. Observe if water will again appear sometime after you finish drying up.

Lastly the most common cause of a leaking water tank. As discussed above when sediment builds up in the bottom of a water tank for years and years it will eventually corrode through the bottom of the tank and begin to leak. It s not the fitting but actually on the tank inlet. If age and deterioration is the cause of your leak you will need to call a professional plumber to replace your water heater.

Looks like we have a leak on our inlet side of the atwood water heater a pinhole leak in the part that connects to the pex. Using a rug mop or paper towels wipe the puddles of water on the rv s floor or surface that you suspect is coming from a leak. The leaking t p valve may indicate the overall water pressure in. If the valve was removed recently it s possible it is now failing to seal properly.

That is caused by the pressure imbalance between the hot and cold water sides of the plumbing system the pressure imbalance is caused by this trapped air at the top of the water heater s tank. It is counterproductive to prevent water from flowing to your water heater while confirming if there is a leak or not. The tank would probably only leak if it suffered freeze or collision damage.
