I finally got round to doing the acid vinegar test because it's gone bad again. I'm not sure what's the best way to upload the video. It says it's too large to upload.

Thanks for your response. The BG engineer did seem confused and corrected me when I said there is an air separator valve and he said it's called an 'air pocket'. I just felt like he wasn't experienced enough and had to call his manager. I even showed him the comments on this thread. Let me speak...

I had BG come down today and look at the issue. He seems convinced that it's not a 'air pocket' issue because this would discolour the water and reduce the pressure. However, he seems to think I have really hard water and I require a water softener. He said the the air separator is usually found...

@terryplumb - you've been extremely helpful, so wanted to thank you for your support. I have sent the customer relations team at Megaflo an email.

I will give this a go. Is this a common fault across all water tank cylinders or this specific one only?

I'm sorry I am not sure I understand this

Ouch not that news I was expecting. Is there an issue if I continue to do what I am doing at the moment by clearing and using until I get it replaced?

Do you think this requires a new cylinder or can it be fixed? If a new cylinder is required, do you know what this would cost (approximately)?

I'm not too sure to be honest. I have been at the property for 5 years and it it was new build that was built in 2009. So I assume since then? I have British Gas cover so do you think this is something that can be covered by them? If yes, what should I tell them so it's easier for them to...

Please ignore all the rubbish . Let me know if you require any other pictures.

I'll try this. If it's not limescale and it is plastic, do you suggest anything for this?

Thanks for your suggestion. For reference I have uploaded photos of the limescale build up after one shower. How do you recommend removing the micro filter? Having looked at the one that I have it looks like it's part of the shower head and it can't be removed.

I am pretty sure it's limescale. Do you have a picture of what you mean by white plastic?

How can I confirm this?

Thanks, cyclinder meaning?
