Hi
I've got a 12ltr Zilmet Expansion Vessel on a 170ltr Ferroli unvented hot water cylinder. It has lost pressure and as a consequence the pressure valve is venting water to the outside. I am assuming the problem is caused by a split in the diaphram as I cannot repressurise the expansion vessel. What concerns me is that the vessel was only fitted in November 2009 and was a replacement for the original expansion vessel that was on the cylinder when it was installed in March 2008 which suffered from the same problem. Is there another issue I am missing which could be causing this repeated problem or is it just bad luck?
