Morning all,

I need to replace th 20 litre expansion vessel on our borehole water supply (again!)

Currently have a Varem vessel and it seems like the replacement's membrane has failed. It's this sort (not from this supplier):

This is the second Varem that has failed just outside the 12 month warranty so I want to bin the whole vessel and get a decent make.

Any recommendations, or other makes to avoid?

Thanks,
Steve

Wow - things drop down the page quickly! Sign of a healthy forum.

A bit of poking around suggests a UK company called Altecnic/Reflex - anyone used them - good or bad reviews welcome?

Thanks,
Steve

20 Litres sounds a bit small.....
If you can, get a larger vessel which will reduce the cycling of your water pump, and also reduce any 'water hammer' you may get!
