Re: [VAL] a leak!!



Well, I think you need to do a check of all your water lines.

You may indeed have a leak, or leaks from the sound of it.

Do you have copper water lines?  If they have frozen in the past they might
have stretched the copper tubing so thin a hairline crack in more than one
place.

Copper lines also can be affected by hard water deposits which build up on
the inside of the tubing. If you've ever cleaned out the screens on your
faucets and found bits of small grit - that's usually from hard water;
calcium, etc. in the water.
