Help! Water leak

Okay. As the sag in the tank flattens, you will get water dripping. The only other possibility is that the city water connection is seeping through the check valve in the water pump. If you put the cap back on and your tank fills, that will verify that it is a check valve issue. The way to resolve is to have enough water in the tank to run the pump. Let it cycle several times and whatever is in the check valve should be flushed out. Even so, you might still have water dripping unless you tilt the RPod and get more water out of the drain so that it is not high enough to be at the level of the drain.

Originally posted by richardd I just replaced the Anode rod. I noticed the water tank drain is still leaking. I took the cap off yesterday. Maybe it takes awhile, but shouldn't that stop leaking?

Okay. Perhaps I am misunderstanding you. Which tank drain is leaking? Is it the fresh water tank, the water heater tank, or something else?

Are you talking steady stream or occasional drip? The tank when filled will sag. As the weight of the water is removed, the tank bottom will flatten out. This is not immediate. As it flattens, it will allow water that was trapped in the sagging area to reach the drain. That could be it.

I use that taste pure as well. I've used it for a2 or 3 years. I also buy it from walmart. I don't drink the f/w tank water, but I don't want to use unsafe water. Occasionally we are not hooked up to city water, and use it to wash, or brush teeth. I want to be sure it's clean. 

Also do you use the freshener every time you fill the fresh water tank throughout the season or just a couple of times during the year?
