Specialists in Electric Hot Water Cylinders
In most circumstances, you should not see any condensation on the outside of your unvented cylinder. However, there is one exception – when the incoming water from the mains is very cold. When very cold water enters the cylinder, the combination between heat and cold can cause some condensation to form on the sides of the cylinder. For instance, you may notice this happens during the depths of winter when the incoming water from outside your home is at its coldest.
This will be most common when you’ve gone through all the heated water in the cylinder or when filling a cylinder for the first time.
If you’re experiencing seasonal condensation, there is nothing you need to do to correct the situation.
Condensation can be easy to mistake for a leak, particularly if it is heavy and rolls down the sides of the cylinder to the base and begins to pool there. How do you tell if you’re seeing condensation, rather than water seeping from an internal leak? Here are a few simple steps to help give you peace of mind.
A leaking unvented cylinder is an accident waiting to happen. In some cases, they can explode. Even if the worst-case scenario does not happen, you could still be facing costly water damage if the leak affects the surrounding areas of the home.
At EasyFlow, our certified plumbers can inspect your unvented cylinder, repair it if possible, or recommend a replacement if that’s necessary. We can also offer annual maintenance plans to ensure that you’re never surprised by these types of problems.
