[Rhodes22-list] Water tank

[Wickman, William E]

It sounds like your vent might be plugged.  You might want to check it.  All water tanks should have three openings:  one to fill, one to drain (to sink), and one to vent so that the drained water is replaced by air.

Looks like it created a little vacuum. I opened the valve, refilled it and it seems to have returned its original shape. I few creases but no leaks. 

Cheers,
