Default water heater dripping

Good Afternoon,

I noticed my water heater is dripping and I think there might be air in the tank.

Any help will be appreciated.

Where is it leaking from? If it's from the relief valve that can be replaced easily, it's a common household part if it's a Raritan or other.
If it's leaking from a seam or from the base, then it probably will need to be replaced.

If you have air in your tank it is probably from a faulty pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve is just like the one on a household water heater. Very easy to replace. Turn off the water heater, turn off the pump/city water valve, open the pressure relief valve, unscrew with a wrench, go to hardware store and find replacement(make sure it is the same rating/pressure), get some pipe thread tape/teflon tape, apply pipethread/teflon tape, screw valve back in and tighten with wrench...done.
