To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Once this has been reached the membrane will be fully inflated and takes up the capacity of the vessel shell. The expansion vessel allows for this extra space, as when water temperature increases the membrane inside the vessel inflates to allow the water to fill the vessel. All versions supplied with a replaceable membrane meaning the vessel can be serviced without being removed. Not just the static pressure but probably letting all the air out ( which can also contain water on the air side!Then just unscrewing the flexihose from the cylinder and capturing all the water that comes out, then screwing on the new one once it has been compression tested. Reliance Valves Aquasystem Replacement Vessel Membranes are available from 2 to 5000 litre capacity, which allows the vessel to be serviced in situ and prevents any water contact with the steel shell to prevent internal corrosion.

The bracket setup for this one is well dodgy as if it breaks off the wall it will fall on the other pipes and I'll be in a whole lot of trouble! The installation was very simple, the engineer powered off the mains of the boiler and replaced the vessel and restarted the system and it was all good.

The existing ARB18 Expansion Vessel (Baxi Megaflow system) was installed in 2003 and the registered engineer said the reason I have to keep topping up the system on a daily basis was due to the expansion vessel. The instructions are quite difficult to read, the text us ridiculously small and also don't cover much. When water is heated it expands and as water is not compressible this increased volume will create a rise in pressure within the system. As the process is going on, the membrane deflates until the pressure reaches its minimal threshold value. Expansion tanks are also known as expansion vessels and are used to protect closed water heating systems and domestic hot water systems from excessive pressure.

I dont want it replaced with the same one, ideally an upgrade to a better manufacturer, so your recommendations for a reliable one would be great.

Happy to get it done by G3 engineer but an idea of how long it will take so I can gauge cost would be a great help, as if I point it out to Valliant service guy Im sure the cost will be astronomical and they'd yellow tape the system and switch it off if I didnt proceed. Surely some have better membranes than others and installers prefer certain makes to others for reliability.
