FAQs

What is the purpose of an expansion vessel?

An expansion vessel absorbs the increase in water volume caused by heating, preventing over-pressurization and potential damage to the system.

How often should I check the pressure?

Check the pressure in the vessel at least once a year, or more frequently if you notice any system issues.

What should the pre-charge pressure be?

The pre-charge pressure should typically be set slightly below the system's normal operating pressure.

Can I install this vessel myself?

If you are comfortable with plumbing, yes. However, if unsure, it's recommended to consult a professional.

What do I do if the vessel is waterlogged?

If the vessel is waterlogged, it is no longer functioning correctly. You'll need to either recharge it or replace it.

Is this expansion vessel suitable for all types of water heaters?

This expansion vessel is suitable for most potable water systems, including those with hot water heaters. Always ensure it's compatible with your system's pressure and water type.

Troubleshooting

Check the expansion vessel's pre-charge and ensure it is correct for your system. If needed, adjust the air valve.
