Is the source of water from the tank?

- Check for possible water seepage through foundation cracks. Did the water appear after a

heavy rain? (Non-Warranty)

Is the source of water from the T&P relief valve?

- Place a bucket under the discharge piping of the T&P relief valve and monitor it for a day

or two. This is a procedure that can be done by the homeowner.

- If the T&P relief valve is the source, refer to the T&P Relief Valve section of this guide.

Check all connections – boiler connections, domestic connections…

- Check all the boiler connections to the water heater. A build-up of corrosion is a sure sign

of a leak. (Non-Warranty)

- Check the boiler supply connections. Look at the welds where the spuds enter into the

outer tank. These can be cracked by using excessive force when connecting piping. (Non-
Warranty) If they are leaking and it is NOT related to an installation error or system
problem—*reason code 057.

- Check the domestic connections. Look at the welds where the spuds enter into the outer

tank. Excessive water hammering in the domestic system may crack these welds. (Non-
Warranty) If they are leaking and it is NOT related to an installation error or system
problem.—*reason code 058.

- Check the seal around the air vent for leaks.
- Check the drywell for leaks.

Action Item:

- To replace the drywell use the Replacement Kit. (See chart on Page 15, 17, 19 or 21)
- Apply sealant (i.e. Leaklok or Loctite) completely around threads in all applications.

* This may be a manufacturing defect. Please initiate a warranty claim with Weil-McLain
