    What is the pressure in this cylinder expansion vessel?

    I was told by the plumber to keep an eye on the pressure, to ensure it stays above 1.0. The red one is… but the black one is not…. What do the two mean?

    Hi, I'm looking to purchase a 300L unvented indirect cylinder to work with a standard heat only boiler. I may have solar panels in the future, but likely the PV kind rather than the thermal kind, and won't be having heat pump in the future. So the cylinder would be connected to the boiler at...

    Unvented cylinder/shower valve

    Hi All I had an unvented cylinder fitted about 6 years ago. It only supplies hot water to my shower. I was hoping for a much better flow rate from the shower but it seemed no different from the original combi boiler hot feed. There is (unusually) a lever that lets me select the combi or the...

This can work fine but then all of a...

    Unvented cylinder blowoff termination?

    Hi all. Any advice for what’s best in this situation please? Blowoff from cylinder comes out where the green circle is but I’m concerned about the windows below if ever it discharges. To the left is a garage felt flat roof so it can’t go on there? Cheers

    Hot water cylinder leaking around joint with hot water inlet

    I'm trying to remove the zone valve ion vented tank and the tank started leaking around the joint. I was hoping to just run the tank with immersion till I can get an unvented. Any tips to stop leaks or do you think I need to buy temporary tank. Any help appreciated as I'm without hot water now.
