Just replacing my HW calorifier and decided to fit an expansion tank to take up the volume expansion as the water heats up. I'm not sure what pressure I should set the vessel to, though - can't find clear guidance anywhere and the fitting instructions are long gone. The pump is a Par max 2.9 and its maximum pressure rating is 1.7 bar (25psi).
So should I set it at just above or just below that?
Thanks all
