Try pulling the check/release lever on the pressure release valve a couple of times.
Sometimes, foreign chit gets under the seat just like what happens with a carburetor of an engine. Do be advised the wadder comes out of the drain line quickly, like a cow pissin' on a flat rock.

I was thinking the same thing George, I went yesterday and flipped it back and forth a few times. I put a bucket under the drain and checked it today and didn't see any water. Hopefully that's all it was!

I haven't touched the temp settings so it's the factory 120F. I checked the water coming out of the faucet and it's around 110F so I guess that's right. The TPR valve is supposed to trip at 150PSI or 210F.

Ok I got my hands on a pressure gauge. Connected to my outside spigot, it jumped up to 120PSI when I first turned it on then dropped to 70PSI and stayed there. I'm begining to think this TPR valve is indeed defective...

Normal residential pressure is 40-60 PSIG.

The just replaced all the water and sewer lines in my neighborhood and I've noticed the pressure has felt higher than before, maybe that's why it's 70PSI. But the city code says a pressure overflow tank is only need if it exceeds 80PSI.
Regardless, the TPR valve is only supposed to open if it exceeds 150PSI so something is definitely wrong... |

Do you have a regulator? I had to add a regulator also. Mine would leak after someone took a shower, while it was heating the water back up.

After leaving the pressure gauge on the spigot for a few hours I'm seeing the pressure is all over the place. As high as 160PSI and as low as 60PSI. I called the water company and they just said any pressure adjustments are customer side, so I guess I'm getting a pressure regulator. Those come preset for 40PSI...

Yes, sounds like you need a PRV and I bet they put a check valve at the street so you probably need a expansion tank too.
These people are pretty good to deal with. https://www.supplyhouse.com/Pressure...alves-17082000 https://www.supplyhouse.com/Expansion-Tanks-14860000

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
