When I said it was a "new" problem I meant, I hadn't heard anyone complain about it before. When I purchased my home here in the Villages four years ago, I did a lot of research on Nova and no one mentioned this problem and I've not heard anything until recently on TOTV. As I mentioned, I know they always check the expansion tank if the homeowner has one at installation but very few ever maintain that. And if it was the expansion tank causing the problem, why wouldn't we have heard about this years ago? Nova has thousands of systems installed in the Villages for 10+ years now.
My "guess" is 1) Maybe there was a shipment of canisters that were faulty. They all come from China so I'm not sure how you guarantee 100% quality. 2) Something new with our water system causing a problem with high pressures because we should not be seeing pressures that high at the water supply.
The only way to debug this is for those who can see the pressure over 80+ psi for example, they need to turn on the water in the house and then tell us what the gauge says. If the pressure only drops a little then the high pressure is coming from the supply. If it drops a lot then it's something in the home like a bad expansion tank.
