My well water pump
had a problem right before this happened and the water to the house was
cut off for a while. Maybe some sediment ended up in the autofeed reg.
when water was restored causing it to stay on.


If it is the same as my Watts fill valve and safety, it is a piece of crap
and you toss it away. If it was sediment under the valve seal, it would
probably be flushed out by now. My heater has had four Watts fill valves in
25 years.
