Draining a Fortic tank?
Every few years, my immersion heater element fails and I have to replace
it. It's a bugger because "draining" my hot water system doesn't completely drain the tank. The element is still immersed and I gently undo the element until the thread leaks and shove a bucket underneath. It then takes hours to drain to below the element. There is no drain cock for the cylinder. 1. Does anyone know a "Trick of the trade" to do a easier job of draining the cylinder? 2. I've seen "long life" immersion heater elements. Are they worth bothering with? Thanks! Steve |
