I'm wondering if there's some headspace in the water heater that acts as a pressure reservoir, once the system is up to pressure.
The delay in the pump coming on tells me there is a reservoir of some type. The city water system I run in my day job uses a 125 ft water tower to develop static head. Trying to figure out where and how the head originates in my trailer. Mainly curious.
