Since the drain valve is open, as a rule, I ask to sit down, if the stopper into the drain my water heater has become dangerous.

To the water in the reservoir outlet must keep plastic normally be closed. Whether the water is led into the tank through a valve or cap. A metal lid would be better than plastic. You can also empty the tank and change the valve seal, but too much work for little benefit.

Although there with her. The drain valve of the tank into the ground. If there is a pressure relief valve, it would be dangerous to boot. The pressure relief valve is located near the top of the tank.

Simple method to change the tap washing machine

LAW OF THE METHOD:

Main switch, connect the hose to another way out of one side to a minimum tap regarding the level of the oven, open the drain valve and water, remove the plastic valve. The sweat on the faucet brass candlestick again
Reverse key
or
Just keep buckets to collect the drops in
and finally
The pressure is not what the thing will not explode or generate anything - that is, are you sure

You said that it is the drain valve in plastic. The pressure relief valve is certainly not plastic. An upper limit for the plastic drain valve on the bottom of the tank is not dangerous. If the brass valve on or near the top of the dam has a canal in it, and that the cap is that, then yes, you must remove the cover and replace the valve as soon as possible.

If the drain valve and not the safety valve, you should be good. The drain valve is open, as a rule, because the sediments are discharged from the oven, or if it is drained.
