Tom; Mine went last spring, replaced it, 2 weeks later had a water leak again? The Hot Water Heater drain valve went bad. So you may want to pick up a drain valve too! FYI!!! Relief valve is 1/2" x 1/2" and the drain valve is 1/2" x 3/4 garden hose. Mike

The 1/2 relief is why I didn't replace it yet. My local HVAC supplier didn't have one. Ordered one today.

thanks Mike.

I do have one of those in brass, not the original plastic.

I have this same problem. Water pump comes on about every 15 minutes. And I have the gray tubing. I always have water in my bilge. Both the front and rear.

Ill be setting out on a mission soon. Ive already checked the water lines where I can see them. But 80% of them are covered by fuel tanks and other stuff. Ill be replacing the pressure valve on the water heater next week. And then replacing the drain lines for the AC pans. Ill probably pull the gray water tanks at some point when im ready to replace the septic tubes. Im pretty excited about that.....
