Hi there, I hope you can help please!
I wanted to check whether the following seems reasonable before I spend more £ calling a G3 engineer out. Any help would be really appreciated.
I have an Albion unvented system (hopefully the pictures help). Over the last week or so, almost 12 months to the date since its last service (typical!) I noticed my tundish dripping, and a weird hissing noise. Turns out the expansion vessel had a teeny hole in the bottom and was oozing rusty stuff.
I called an engineer today who has replaced the vessel (the new blue one in the picture), and so far it seems ok. Hot water is back, tundish is still damp from when it was dripping but appears to have actually stopped the drip.
My question is what the pressure valve pictured should actually be showing? The engineer told me the max it should ideally go to is 3, but when I got home this evening it was just over 4.
Any ideas!?
I'm away this weekend so it's worrying me!!
The rust marks aren’t from this - they’re from years back before I bought the property FYI.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
