+1 The *coolant side* would be maybe 10 or 15 PSI max. -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Mitchell's via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, May 2, 2017 2:02 PM To: CNC List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Mitchell's <themitche...@yahoo.ca> Subject: Stus-List Water heater mystery
Danny, not sure I would test that high a pressure. The coolant pressure won't be as high as your domestic water pressure. You could pressurize the tank with fresh water and test the bypass loop by opening the loop caps if they are capped. If the loop leaks it can be easily repaired. But that doesn't deal with the original issue of a tripping breaker! Perhaps the element is burned or shorted. Maybe the tank is leaking on the thermostat? Lots of things to look at. Good luck, Len Sent from my mobile device. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
