I installed a Marathon 50 gallon water heater back in '98 or '99. I busted a water line while mowing and had to shut off the water to repair. Repair was pretty simple but Later last night I heard water dripping when I walked past the water heater area. Water was seeping out the top of the heater where the water lines enter the tank. It was also running from the cover to the upper element. This heater has always made noises when either releasing the water pressure or turning on the water. I am guessing the expansion cracked it when I turned the water back on.
I purchased from Home Depot but I am pretty sure I need to work with Marathon directly. Anybody have any advise they would like to share?
