Why Unvented Cylinder Expansion Vessels Need Regular Attention

Think of your unvented cylinder's expansion vessel like a shock absorber for your hot water system. As water heats, it expands. The expansion vessel provides a space for this extra volume, preventing pressure from building up to dangerous levels. However, over time, the internal diaphragm can degrade, the air charge can leak, or connections can corrode. This leads to inefficient operation, potential damage to your system, and even safety risks. Regular checks are crucial to ensure your system is working correctly.
