Eack HWT has an overpressure device mounted on the tank. It sounds like this one is leaking. Check the temperature setting on the tank to see if it has been changed. A HWT is not supposed to be operated at more that 50 PSI. Check the pressure reducing valve where it enters the house to see what the pressure reads.

Why is your water tank not retaining hot water?
Assuming you are talking about a home water heater, there is a pressure relief valve above the hot water line - usually on a tee or an ell above where the hot water line comes out of the heater and usually leads to the floor and under the house. The valve is designed to relieve the pressure in the water heater when the water becomes too hot. The valve may have corroded and is stuck in the open position thereby releasing the hot water. You can feel the pipe that connects to the valve = if it is hot, it is leaking water; if it is cold, the problem lies elsewhere - maybe the thermostat could be set too low.
What is the anode in a gas water heater?
The sacrificial anode in a Hot Water Tank takes most of the rusting problems away from the tank itself, hence the word "sacrificial!" When the anode has finished its course of use, you will get rusting happening on the walls of your tank which leads to a wrecked and leaking hot water tank. Manufacturers do NOT want home owners to know about these anodes, because if everyone replaced them there would not be any hot water tanks to replace.
How does a hot-cold Water Dispenser work?
It has a compressor (like a refrig or air conditioner) which compresses a gas (freon) creating hot gas, This gas heats the hot water tank as it condenses to a liquid, The liquid then goes to the evaporator, where it boils back to a gas again, taking heat energy out of the cold water tank and cooling the water before returning to the compressor to start again. The hot water tank may have another heat source to boost the temperature higher.
Where hot water is kept?
Hot water is typically stored in water heaters, which can be tank-based or tankless systems. Tank water heaters maintain a reservoir of heated water, while tankless models heat water on demand as it flows through the unit. Additionally, hot water can be stored in insulated containers or thermoses for temporary use. In some heating systems, hot water is circulated through pipes to radiators or underfloor heating.
What is the average monthly cost to operate an electric hot water tank?
Three hours is the average time to run the hot water per day so if you have a 1500 watt tank you will pay about $13.50 a month <<>> A 1500 watt water tank is not going to heat much water. The average home hot water tank operates with 4500 watt elements in it. To get an accurate price use 4500 watts as a starting point.
