Came home to find water running out from under my house. After some investigating found a pencil lead size stream coming from the water heater pressure valve. Opened the valve and let it run for a while and then when I shut it off the stream is as big as a #2 pencil. So I go inside and fill the tub so at least I can take a bath tonight. Water seems extra extra hot. So I go outside and hook a hose to the heater and flush it of hot water. Now the pressure valve is leaking a drip a second.
I'm thinking one of the two thermostats is stuck on; over heated the water; blowing the pressure valve. I really hate putting money into this water heater because the serial number says it was built in Sept 1990. But since a cheap 6 year 50 gallon water heater is over $500 I am going to try and rebuild this heater. 2 new thermostats; heating elements; and a pressure valve.
So my question; are these parts pretty much universal or do I need to buy specific parts that fit my brand heater only??? Anything else I should do while I got it apart????
