Happy Christmas everyone,
We’ve just had a new Gledhill Stainless Lite indirect unvented cylinder installed by Dyno. It is making an alarmingly loud popping noises when the hot water is being used, not always but very very often.
Mentally to me, it seems like the inner casing of the cylinder is flexing in and out (just like a plastic water bottle under a pressure change).
I have read that these are thin cylinders (hence the lite) and many have reported issues, even after a replacement.
Those of you experts out there who are familiar with this cylinder and it’s issues, is my best course of action to get Dyno to replace with another brand/model, rather than go with a replacement of the same brand/model?
Dyno have requested Gledhill to come on site, but I have read some posts saying the problem reappears after replacement. The visit will now take place in the new year, but I want to be prepared and not be fobbed off.
In your experience and expert opinion what is my best path here guys? Is it worth just insisting Dyno to get a refund and go for another brand/model (I’m assuming that is an option)? If so which one?
Thanks!
P.S. Dyno guys have checked the pressures, i.e. reduced the mains down to 3bar, and on Gledhill’s telephone advice reduced EV from 3bar to 2.8bar.
