Default Leaking Hot Water Cylinder

My open vented indirect hot water cylinder has developed a slight leak
around the top pipe connected to the coil heat exchanger. See here for a

I presuming this will get progressively worse. Is this something that can
be repaired or will it be time for a new cylinder soon.


New cylinder is the best bet here. Best re-assess your hot water system
while at it. Look at a Rinnai high flow multi-point water heater - it will
give two high pressure showers, get rid of the cylinder and tanks too. The
business.
