Hi all,
I've got my G3 card. First time I've attempted to re-pressurise the white, expansion vessel above an unvented cylinder.
I first turned the water off, ran the taps to relieve the pressure. The vessel (it was flat). I managed to pump it up to 1.2bar with no issues. But then it was extremely hard to pump.
A plumber before me had the same issue. He'd also removed the vessel to do this.
My question: is it physically possibly to get to 3bar with a foot pump? Or should I use an electric tyre pump (such as is used on car tyres)?
Regardless, the customer needs a new vessel as it didn't hold the charge. But I'd be interested to know how you'd all repressurise it.
