That was because it was half air and half water which is right.
As he explained it the cause of the pipe that was broken was because of the "shock" to the pipe because the expansion was bad. He said it would be good for anyone who believed their yexpansion was faulty to have it checked. He is an excellent plumber and is very fair in his charges. His company is "Holmes Plumbing" and his name is Charlie and his number is 352-787-9554. He is the same person who was at our home within minutes when we called with the broken pipe.  |
Thank you for posting the final results! My expansion tank was replaced year ago. It had small leak.
Now the subject of the push on/off valve assembly that got injected into the post.
Reason I don't like them is due to age, they are ove 12 years old in my house. When ever I have plumbing work done on the system the connect to I have the plumber replace them. Now with screw on/off valve and hose I can replace parts if they start to go bad. Saving me money down the road.
