Question:

so have a new hot water heater, and it keeps leaking a good amount of water, is this normal?

ok so I‘m renting a house, and this hot water heater was new work. There is a copper pipe on the side that comes down the side and just dumps out on the floor. There is also some value at the top. I assumed that this was some emergency pipe because who in the right mind would have a pipe leak out onto the floor of a basement on a consistant basis the amounts that it is leaking, plus it‘s affect our water bill. We‘ve had a bunch of issues with the workmanship with the upgrades so far. We didn‘t have any hot water in the shower for the first week we were here. We still have low water pressure. So I want my landlord to fit it, because it‘s causing mold in the basement. so I just want to know if this is normal and how it‘s set up, or if there is something that needs to be adjusted
