Unvented cylinders are safe to use if they are installed correctly and if they undergo regular maintenance by a qualified engineer.
They have three levels of safety built-in:
A ‘thermostat’ that prevents the water from heating above 60-65 degrees.
A ‘high-level cut-out stat’ that operates at 80-90 degrees if the thermostat fails.
A ‘temperature relief valve’ that will operate if both the thermostat and high-level cut-out stat fails.
If these safety features are faulty there is a risk that the water will over-heat and cause a pressure build up within the tank which can cause the cylinder to explode. Therefore, it is important to get a yearly check-up.
Check your cylinder for leaks and faults
Carry out electrical checks
Check that the pressure and temperature relief (safety) valves are working
Ensure that the safety discharge pipework (D2 pipework) is not blocked or restricted
Check flow rate to water outlets
Clean the strainer located within the combination valve – this is prone to blocking with limescale and can restrict flow/performance to water outlets
Check expansion vessel pressure and re-charge if needed
