water heater leakin pressure release valve
I noticed today the pressure release valve on my water heater has a very slow drip. How often should that valve be replaced and is now the time. Doesn't seem like a complicated job any precautions ...

God,.....don't panic ok ?? I forgot to mention that I have a shure-flo bladder tank in the system, JUST AS EVERY SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE !!
I am settled in for a couple months, and not about to twist a bung out of the 13 yr old tank, and then what ???
That's great- instead of the water heater tank blowing the plastic bladder can blow- no doubt in a much better place to be inundated with boiling water.
Removing the T&P valve is trivial- I have never had any problem on tanks up to 30 years old (actually, never had a problem with *any* tank- just don't see too many that old).
