Boiler Relieves itself? PRV

I have hot water heater. It’s about 6 years old.
Curious why my boiler Pressure Relief Valve seems to regularly relieves itself H20 (similar to a human). I have a little bucket there. When occasionally peek inside I notice always seems to be about a half inch of water inside.
