Bottom line if your expansion tank is more than five years old and it tests good , replace it don’t wait for the failure.

I really didn't need the plumbing lesson , it was more of a "wtf is that crap" with drilling a hole and a zip tie.... plus a hit on 'the developer' using CPVC.... which we all should know gives out fairly easily.
but thanks for thinking I didn't know that already...... appreciate it.
