Draining vaillant tank

[AndyPRK]

Hi. Does anyone know how to drain one of these tanks please. It's leaking fron the immersion at the bottom thru my ceiling.

Thanks

There should be a drain off on the cold feed in to the bottom of the cylinder unless the Installer could not be bothered.

All pipes are thru the top as unvented.

Found where it's leaking from.
The hot water outlet.

Got a plumber coming later in week to look.

Now I know the leak is at the top I won't drain Thank you


How much are these tanks to replace?

He want's to fit a tank with a built in expansion vessel thing.

And 3 port valve needs changing to 2x2port S system or current 3 port valve and a 2 port on HW (which comes with the tank)

 

[Dan Robinson]

There are ways around that if the installer can think outside the box. Depends on a few factors though.

 

[AndyPRK]

The valves ?

Is it to be a little more environmentally friendly ? to keep heat in he tank

 

[Dan Robinson]

It's for safety.

 

[AndyPRK]

Could you explain why please ?
