I may have got to the bottom of my green hot water as in a previous post. I have noticed on my Range Tribune unvented indirect hot water cylinder where the thermostat goes into the cylinder body there is a load of white chrystaline crud. It looks like some sort of chemical reaction between the two metals and some of it has flowed down the side before setting hard. I want to take out the thermostat and clean it in case its inside as well but I need to drain it first. (Might do the immersion heater at the same time).
There appears to only be one tap which I am guessing is the mains cold water going in. If I turn this off (as well as the electrics/boiler etc) and open the hot taps can I simply drain the cylinder down using the drain outlet on the side? Is it as simple as that? Please say yes! Any pitfalls in turning it all back on again?
Cheers,
