So, while looking into modifying my 5er's basement a little to gain some storage, I'm wondering if I have a leak in the water heater.
I can hear a "ticking" sound, almost like water dripping on steel or aluminum. The pump will run for about 3 seconds out of every 45 or so. The ticking will go away, eventually returning, and after few seconds the pump kicks on and the cycle continues. Being a newbie, I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but it doesn't seem like it should be normal to me.
Any thoughts?
