Not what I was expecting

[gasmanrob]

Had a job come through today, customer says the cold water pressure bursts out the tap dies of then comes back and runs fine.

So make my way over expecting to find a dodgy prv or blending valve maybe back flow from a shower. After the customer is finished demonstrating the problem I ask to see the airing cupboard as I believe that maybe where the problem is.
She responds do you mean the thing with the hot water tank? That's downstairs just make your way down its the last door you come to.
I open the door and my jaw dropped on the floor as I was not expecting this!!!

whats that? looks like a leccy boiler

Thats a cold water storage tank in the cellar that has 2 pumps on it that then feeds the 3 cloakrooms 5 en suites a utillity and a dog washing room.

Turns out the silver expansion vessel isnt what it seems. its actually an accumulator that stores pressure so the tap gives a steady pressure until the pump kicks in then when the tap shuts the pump runs on to re fill the accumulator till the next time. ended up that the accumulator had lost its charge. so nothing to complicated but nearly dropped a brick when i opened the door and was faced with that!

Im not surprised that house is worth more then i'll earn in a life time. I should imagine that was someone on a day rate rather then price. but was nice to see everything marked up clipped and just how it should be.

 

[gasmanrob]
