Unvented Cylinder Pressure Problems? Spotting the Warning Signs
Unvented cylinders provide mains pressure hot water, giving you a more powerful shower and faster filling times. But, like any system under pressure, things can sometimes go wrong. Here are a few signs that your unvented cylinder might need a pressure check:
- Fluctuating water pressure: Hot water pressure that changes dramatically, or is consistently lower than expected.
- Noisy cylinder: Banging, hissing, or whistling sounds coming from the cylinder or associated pipework.
- Water leaks: Any signs of water around the cylinder, valves, or pipe connections.
- Pressure relief valve discharging water: While a small amount of discharge is normal during heating, constant or excessive discharge indicates a problem.
- Hot water taking longer to heat up: Reduced efficiency can sometimes be linked to pressure issues.
Ignoring these signs could lead to more significant problems and potential safety hazards. Preferred Gas can quickly diagnose the cause and prevent further damage.
