Hi my friends metal water tank directly above the copper hot water cylinder is leaking.
what we want to know is it safe to replace this with a modern plastic 1?
What size do we need?
Is it ok to move higher up into the loft which would mean extending the vent pipe from copper hot water cylinder?
We are not certain about the system, other than there is a vent pipe from the copper cylinder to the leaking tank. There is another tank in the loft which feeds the rads. The metal tank which is leaking feeds the hot water cylinder. We dont have any problem with basic plumbing and no alterations are being made to the system, just that the tank has had it!.
