It also helps to run the water coming from the bottom of the tank (to your

starts dumping heat as more is gathered.
That sounds like an excellent idea. An aquastat controlled valve or
pump that would circulate the hot water through a baseboard heater
when the tank approached dangerous temperatures seems to be a perfect
solution. Using a P/T valve as the only safety makes me uneasy. If
it were vented to a good drain where no one could get scalded, and it
almost never was triggered, it might be ok.
