Hi, I have a Megaflo Hot Water Cylinder in the loft, really pleased with it but it does present one annoying problem.
More or less every month I have to turn off the water supply to the tank, drain the tank down with the vent open and re-charge the air expansion cushion.
I would understand if I need to do this once a year, but every month is a bit of a pain.
The signs are, it starts to spill water via the relief valve, which appears onto the patio from a free drain pipe.
I have no idea how the air can eascape, as I have checked all the possible leakage areas, pipe fittings etc and no leaks have been detected.
The relief vavle works, but where does the air cushion disappear too, can anyone help????
Cheers.
