It's been a while...
Have you ever had one of the days were you turn up to something and you just think 'What the hell?'
I've just been to see a 'water cylinder making a funny noise'.
It took me a second to realise I was looking at an unvented cylinder because the installation just looked wrong. Now I don't do solar heating so have absolutely no experience of these installations, but this thing looked so badly installed that I started to doubt my own knowledge.
There was no tundish, no PRV, no filter. But what was really bizarre is that the hot water draw off went straight to an F&E tank. The system did work until recently but I'm damned if I know how.
I've gone through Gledhill's twin coil catalogue and just can't find a single cylinder where this system would work.
I have, as you can imagine, told the customer to get a solar specialist in, but I'm wondering what on earth I've missed.
