The pipework out of the top of the hot cylinder travels develops an air lock each night after the emersion heater has done its stuff.
If i run the hot tap for a while it does get flushed out but there must be a better way of doing this.
I was thinking of venting the high point of the hot water system into the cold tank. If i do this though is there a one way valve available to stop cold water entering the hot water pipe work.
I need to sort this out because my gravity fed shower mixer on the bath doesn't work properly until the air has been flushed out every morning.
Any bright ideas?
