Various issues can occur with the pressure-relief valve on a water heater. These problems can potentially lead to dangerous and costly scenarios, such as an explosion or flooding. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

The pressure-relief valve can fail for several reasons. It may become stuck or ‘frozen’ due to rust, corrosion, or mineral deposits building up inside the tank and on the valve components. This buildup can prevent the valve from operating correctly. In other cases, the valve may remain stuck after releasing hot water during a previous pressure surge.

Low water pressure is usually just a nuisance to homeowners and doesn’t pose a serious problem. High water pressure, on the other hand, can damage fixtures, seals, joints, and more. Water pressure that’s too high can also waste a lot of water in the home, leaving you with a higher utility bill at the end of the month.

The primary role of the pressure-relief valve is to release excess pressure in the water heater tank. If the valve fails to do this, pressure can continue to build past safe limits, typically around 150 PSI (pounds per square inch). While the tank is designed to handle substantial pressure, there is a breaking point at which the tank can no longer contain the pressure and bursts. This is not merely a rupture; it can be a violent explosion, launching the tank like a missile and causing significant damage.

d) Electronic Communications. When You contact Us through the Website, create a user account, or provide Your e-mail address to Us for any reason, You are consenting to receive communications from Us electronically.

As your water heater heats up the water in the tank, the water expands and steam is generated. The greater the heat, the more expansion that occurs. This expansion puts pressure on the exterior walls of the tank, but this is to be expected. Some degree of excess pressure escapes through the water pipes connected to the water heater. In the event that it cannot, the pressure-relief valve triggers. By releasing some of the hot water and air, the valve lowers the pressure back down to safe levels.

This goes without saying, but if you’re not comfortable flushing your water heater or checking the valve, don’t just ignore this crucial maintenance need. Give our team a call and have us out to your home to perform this service for you. Remember, this preventative maintenance can help prevent a tank burst and major water damage.

As it comes from the municipal water supply to your home, residential water generally ranges from 40 to 80 PSI (pounds per square inch). Anything above or below this range could be considered too low or too high. Some experts will say that any level above 60 PSI is too high of water pressure for your home. It’s best to speak with a professional plumber to get your water pressure checked and to learn more about what level is right for your home. Your PSI range can be affected by elevation, house size, water needs, age of your home, and other factors.

On the renowned TV series “Mythbusters,” an experiment examined the scenario of a water heater’s potential explosion when its safety mechanisms, such as the pressure regulator, were tampered with, leading to over-pressurization. The team conclusively demonstrated that a 50-gallon tank exploding could be lethal to individuals nearby, highlighting the critical importance of safety devices and precautions.

For all your daily tasks to run smoothly, water pressure is especially important. Imagine not having enough water pressure to flush a toilet or take a shower. There are other consequences to having water pressure that is too high.

So long as water and air are coming out of the water heater during this test, your water heater pressure-relief valve is working as intended. On the other hand, if you’ve flipped the switch up and you’re not seeing any release, that could indicate a problem with the valve.

It’s been a long day at work, and you want to come home, take a hot shower, and relax with the family. You turn on the shower to see a small stream of water—or droplets—coming from the shower head. Even when you turn the shower handle to full capacity, only a small amount of water drips out. What’s the problem?

ASSIGNMENT. You may not assign these Terms, or any of Your rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of Ferguson. Ferguson may assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under these Terms, and any assignment will inure to the benefit of Our successors, assigns, and licensees.

Homeowners should replace the pressure-relief valve every few years, or as recommended by the manufacturer, as a preventive measure. The frequency of replacement may need to be increased if the water heater operates under harsh conditions or the water supply is particularly hard or corrosive.

On the opposite side of the water pressure spectrum, high water pressure can pose a danger to you and your family inside the home. When water pressure is too high, pipes can become damaged and systems can overwork themselves to bring that water to you. It’s just like the tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears: you don’t want your water pressure too low or too high—you want it just right.
