This article discusses how to create a system whereby a water tank acts as a relief valve on the water system. This is usually a fail‐safe mechanism that stops excessive amounts of pressure from building up in the underground water lines. The article especially focuses on how to install relief valves, which are critical to the success of “replacing” the tank and relieving any excess water pressure.
