[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 311133, member: 250"] The concept of air locked in the cylinder itself would on the face of it appear ilogical... i.e. The hot water normally exits the cylinder through the pipe coming out of the top... If it were designed so that air could get trapped in the top of the cylinder then the cylinder would never ever fully fill up in the first place.. If there is an air problem, it would also have to involve the outlet pipe.. which would typically also manifest itself with flow problems at the hot taps.. If flow is good at the taps then air shouldn't be an issue IMHO.. By their very nature surely the insides of all water cylinders has to slope upward toward the exit pipe position.. otherwise how or where could you bleed any trapped air out of the cylinder??? ?? :C [/QUOTE]
