Installed a replacement expansion tank, old one filled with water. Gas water heater is 40 gal, inlet pressure 55psig. Set expansion tank pressure at 55psig. When the water heater kicks on the house pressure increases to 75 psig. Is this normal? Shouldn't the expansion tank keep pressure at or near 55psig
