Yes, drip legs are required on gas water heaters in California. The California Plumbing Code mandates the installation of a drip leg, or sediment trap, to collect any sediment or debris that may accumulate in the gas line. This ensures proper functioning and safety of the gas appliance by preventing blockages and potential hazards. Always consult local codes and a qualified professional for specific requirements.
Yes, water heaters can leak. To prevent leaks, regularly inspect the water heater for any signs of corrosion or rust, ensure proper installation and maintenance, and consider installing a leak detection system or a drip pan underneath the water heater.

Drip irrigation has the advantage over other irrigation types of being able to place a percise amount of water directly where it is required. Drip irrigation delivers water to the plant's roots leaving a minimal amount to be taken up by undesireable species or to run off into the environment.

Yes, gas water heaters often drip after they are put into service after a prolonged shut-down, but it is not because of the pilot light. When the main burner ignites below a tank of cold water, the moisture contained in the gas flame will condense on the outside of the tank bottom and the flue that passes through the center of the tank. Once the water is hot, the water heater should stop dripping and the moisture below the water heater should evaporate. Continued dripping may indicate a leak and the water heater may need to be repaired or more likely replaced if it is older--more than five to seven years old.
If drip irrigation is used non commercially, it uses fresh water out of the outside water faucet.
