Tank leaking

Originally posted by Wepod Well I did disconnect the city water and am using the pump now but the pump has been cycling on a few minutes after Shutting off for about a week now. Is the check valve in the pump or inline after the pump?

The check valve is built into the front of the pump. It's literally a little rubber disc/flap.

If the pump is cycling repeatedly after you have closed the tap, you have a leak somewhere.

The system should, and will, hold pressure for months. I have opened the system on Pods I knew had been sitting for weeks to months, and got sprayed by water under pressure when I forgot to open a valve first, before opening the plumbing lines.

LOL.. Most owners only open the system one time without releasing any pressure.. Remember, right there on the WH is a pressure relief valve.. I always pull it first.. now.

I did the same thing the first time I winterized the pod.  And the second time.
