Why Expansion Vessels Need Regular Attention

Expansion vessels are essential because water expands when heated. In a sealed, unvented system, this expansion creates pressure. The vessel provides a space for this extra volume, preventing pressure build-up that could damage your cylinder, pipework, or even cause a safety hazard. However, the internal components, like the diaphragm, can degrade over the years. Regular checks are vital to catch problems early.

Signs Your Expansion Vessel Might Need Replacing

Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs that your expansion vessel might be failing:

  • Dripping or Leaking: Water escaping from the vessel or its connections is a clear indication of a problem.
  • Pressure Fluctuations: Noticeable changes in water pressure can suggest the vessel isn't managing expansion effectively.
  • Noisy System: Banging, clanging, or gurgling sounds might indicate trapped air due to a faulty vessel.
  • Pressure Relief Valve Discharge: Frequent water discharge from the pressure relief valve is a strong sign of over-pressurisation.
  • Age: If your expansion vessel is over five years old, it's wise to have it checked, as age increases the likelihood of issues.
