Hi, I,ve got an economy 7 hot water tank.
The bottom element is giving us some serious problems. Wecan't get it to form a water tight seal and have taken it out three timesnow!!! Each time we replaced the gasket and on the final attemptwe put plenty of ptfe and lsx around it.
When we filled the tank it looked ok, but we are nowgetting the odd bubble rising from the element seal and it drips.
I don’t know what to do?
I could call out a Plumber but what could they dodifferently?
I’m thinking should I just get a new tank because it wouldbetter than paying someone £200 to try to fix an element leak.
Please help.
