    Indirect cylinders.

    True. Never thought of that. Heating and fire are staying off until next cylinder goes in. Glad it's not the middle of winter. The nearest plumber is 20 miles away so have to wait in line. Thanks for comments.

    Indirect cylinders.

    Would it still boil even though the central heating is pumped from the same stove?

    Indirect cylinders.

    Can anyone help? Replaced hot water indirect cylinder which was leaking with the same size cylinder. Radiators are fine but can only get hot water if immersion is on. Spent some time looking for an airlock and checking for dirt in system but no luck. Didn't realise we had to specify that we...

    Expansion tank?

    Thanks for reply. It's not really his fault as it was meant to be a straight swap of a leaking cylinder for a new one. The boiler is a multifuel stove and it is vented. It was too late and too warm last weekend to fire it up. It filled and there were no leaks and we checked the immersion heater...

    Expansion tank?

    Cylinder is replaced, same size as old one, indirect and vented. F&E tank installed, new immersion heater as well and all radiators are bled and heating. Can't get hot water though unless the immersion is on. Spent all weekend hunting an airlock and checking for a blockage but no joy. We find...

    Expansion tank?

    There is an automatic vent as part of the design of the Spartan vessel. It's the little grey bit at the front about the size of a Heinz baby food can. I assume because both the heating and domestic water goes through this Spartan thing that the one vent does both. The thing is it's worked fine...

    Expansion tank?

    It is def the hot water from the cylinder via the top of the Spartan vessel that goes to the bathroom and kitchen DHW. Plumber is coming to replace indirect cylinder later this week and will see if a F & E tank is able to go in.

    Expansion tank?

    Not sure about that. I can only see 3 pipes going to loft. 2 cold water mains for my house and the upstairs house and the return cold water pipe for my domestic supply. Doesn't appear to be a vent. If we put a F&E tank above the cylinder it will be a metre from top of radiator to water level in...

    Expansion tank?

    Yes it does. Comes back down into a walk in cupboard to the right and goes to bathroom and kitchen sink.

    Expansion tank?

    Turns out the Hydro Spartan is leaking too. Take it there is nothing similar to the Spartan on the market, Is it feasible to put the F&E tank above the hot water cylinder. Height to ceiling is 1.3m. 1.75m from radiator to ceiling. Can't get a picture of the boiler connection as it is behind...
