If you turn on your faucet and there is no water the problem is probably the water pop-off to the faucet (assuming other faucets work). We have a 7 yr designer house and at first, the cold water in one of the bathroom sinks didn't run. The fix was to look under the sink and find a white disk about the size of a quarter and press it in (could be a bit hard to press in) but not too bad. Then our dishwasher wasn't getting dishes clean and after an $80 service charge, we found the pop-off to the dishwasher also pop-ed. Before calling the service guy I pressed in the pop-off at least twice but it didn't hold I guess. Then during the week the faucet in the bathroom that popped, popped a few more times until finally, I couldn't get the water back. The real fix is to have the pop-off valves replaced with turn valves by a plumber. I guess you will have to make the decision to replace only the ones that popped or all of them, we decided to replace all of them (13 ouch)> be prepared for a large bill $. We have talked to several people and found that many newer homes have had the same issue and everyone seems to be replacing all the shutoff with turn-style shutoffs.
Two plumbers have said the villages is putting them in because they are really cheap. WHY would The Villages continue to put in Pop-Off valves that can and do fail in 7 yrs or less (guess I answered my own question) ?

Not sure who to complain to but I'm sure it won't do any good. If your building a new house and have a say, make sure they don't use the plastic pop-off valves on all the water lines.

The bladder in the Expansion Tank over the Hot Water Heater most likely has failed. When pressure builds the bladder absorbs the pressure but if it has failed the pressure pushes out the weakest valve .

The Expansion Tank near Water heater! 3/4 pipe threads ... simple job ... your internal bladder failed ....

I replaced all of these push/pull valves in my CYV with the chrome handle shut off valve and flexible supply hose, even the water line to the ice maker in the refrigerator.

Thanks for the information

You must match the expansion tank air pressure to the incoming water pressure. You will need a pressure gauge, I purchased one at Lowe’s for $10.
