Hot water cylinder air gap problem

[mattfine]

Hello everyone,
I have a megaflo hot water cylinder which is dripping from the tundish. Have had two weeks ago a gas safe registered engineer to service my boiler and my hot water tank and he said the hot water cylinder would just need the air gap replenished (which he supposedly did).


However after a couple of days of his service water started to drop from the tundish again.


I have now decided to try replenishing the air gap myself. However when I turn off the mains or the inlet on the cylinder and then open the lowest hot water tap, no water is coming out of the hot water tap. Needless to say the cylinder is full.


Can you please give me some indications on what might be wrong?


Thanks


Matt

Matt, save a load of grief and get a G 3 registered engineer to look at it, not all GS lads are G 3.

Watch this video and try again. This really is all you can do, anything else requires a g3 (unvented) engineer.

Call him again and say it's still not replenished and he should come back and sort it as it's only a couple of days since.

could be discharging from the heating side

Still an outstanding issue from the service. Give the guy a call.
