Geez! By the time you used the 3/4 air, I'd figure the threaded hole would tear out of the tank!!
Also, anyone have any links, recommendations on how to bone up on hybrid water heaters? Mine is currently propane gas, but I converted the house electric to solar. It's not sized for electric water, but I would still be in the lowest tier since I do have solar now.
I called GE as it was still under warranty and told them about the issue first. I was kind of hoping the tank would break and then get a whole new water heater. Mine was made in China, but they have moved production back to the USA. In the future, I will never install another water heater before removing the anode and wrapping the threads with teflon tape and re-installing it with only a reasonable amount of torque.
As far as using your solar, watts are watts and you just do the math.
