Dear all,
We have changed a calorifier tank about a month ago and since changing it, we get lots of spluttering and spitting and aerated water from the hot water taps.
We have fully bled the system three times so there is no residual air from filling.
The water system is always pressurised at 2 bar so no air can leak into the system. The cold taps don't show any spluttering and the hot water tank is fed by the same pump as the cold water system.
The spluttering ends when the water in the calorifier cools down.
The water temperature is around 55 degrees.
We have fully changed the water in our tank from a very mineral rich water to a softer water and the spluttering and spitting seem to have reduced somewhat, but the water is still very aerated.
We have checked electrical leak in the tank from the element, but none is present, so no electrolysis is happening within the tank.
Tank is a Quick calorifier mounted vertically with connections at the bottom. Same mounting as our previous tank.
We don't know what else to check and cannot understand the mechanism for which air seems to be getting into the hot water.
Anybody had faced similar issues?
Thanks in advance.
