Installing an accumulator/expansion tank to relieve the initial pressure build up of my hot water tank...I got tired if it oozing out the pressure relief valve when I turn on the H/W tank and it goes through it's first heat cycle.. Measured pressure gradually builds up and would reach 140psi... After pressure is relieved the water pump would settle in at about 25psi..
Opening a hot water faucet would relieve the pressure, but sometimes we would forget.
