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
pictu

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.

Lord Hall, he has to assess his requirement and what he would gain. Lots of
space, supberb performance etc.
