Presumably if I leave it lying around I'm at risk of corrosion due to the residual water inside and lots of air... How quickly might I need to think about fitting this? Hot water cylinders are normally copper or stainless steel... so not much to worry about. There are some heating systems that incorporate a thermal store to make them more efficient. Often (galv) steel. These would rust. Best dried out and seal up with some silica gell inside. |
