Why Unvented Cylinder Expansion Vessels Require Regular Attention

Unvented hot water cylinders are pressurised systems, and the expansion vessel plays a crucial role in accommodating the increase in water volume as it heats. Over time, the air charge within the vessel can leak, leading to a loss of pressure. This can cause the system to over-pressurise, potentially triggering safety relief valves and, in severe cases, causing damage to your cylinder or pipework. Regular checks and recharging of the expansion vessel are therefore essential for safety and longevity. Preferred Gas engineers, being Gas Safe registered, are fully qualified to work on these systems.

Signs Your Expansion Vessel May Need Recharging

Several indicators suggest your expansion vessel requires attention. These include:

  • Water discharging from the pressure relief valve, usually located near the cylinder.
  • Fluctuating hot water temperature.
  • Banging or knocking noises from the cylinder or pipework.
  • Low hot water pressure.
  • Visible signs of corrosion or damage to the expansion vessel.
    If you notice any of these signs, it's important to call in a qualified engineer like Preferred Gas to inspect your system.
