My house has the water heater below many of the outlets. Also the way the
well and whatever you call that bladder/surge tank holds several gallons of

water out of the lines I have to go up to the second floor and open up the
spickets and wait.
Even a few drops of water near the joint can cause problems.


Does the water heater have a working drain valve?

That might be an easy way to lower the water level.
