Sounds like there's a backflow preventer and the expanded hot water has no where to go except out the T&P valve. Also, look into raising that water temp a bit more: "Warm, stagnant water provides ideal conditions for growth. At temperatures between 200C-500C (680-1220F) the organism can multiply. Temperatures of 320C-400C (900-1050F) are ideal for growth. Rust (iron), scale, and the presence of other microorganisms can also promote the growth of LDB.
