Thomas, Although Bill correctly points out the expansion tank takes care of the increased pressure, it may be helpful for you to know how it does that so you understand that it's not extra water

Thomas, the purpose of the hot water accumulator tank is to take care of the increased pressure in the hot water system caused by heating the water. Heating water increases the pressure in a closed

Bill- thanks as always for the great info. So this tank is just an 8 liter reservoir for my basic 40 ? Does it only allow ingress under some kind of pressure ? If not it merely expands my basic 40

Hi Greg; We hauled out at Manoel island in Malta last year. Although I do not have first hand experience, I was told by a reliable source that they had very good painting contractors in

Thomas, On your SM the hot water pressure accumulator tank was originally located between the water heater and the port side of the engine room. Unfortunately, I have seen some owners remove this tank

Tom has identified his problem - no expansion tank, but I think this topic started with Mawgan's problem of no hot water flowing after he installed a new tank. Mawgan, how did that work out?

Hi Greg, Check out Agmar Marine's Partheni Boatyard next to the airport on the north end of Leros. Very skilled workers and, although I didn't have painting done, I did see their work and it was

Bill- I definitely have no accumulator tank in the circuit. I just thought all these years that the basic 40 had a relief valve set too low (7 bar ?). These relief valves tend to last me 1-2 years (I

Hi all, I have a problem with the paint blistering on my spars and wanted to get them repainted. I am in Greece and wondered if anyone had any experience with a project like this, in the Eastern Med.

Hi, We´re planning to ship our Amel 54 from Phuket to Europe next year. The shipping company need some documentation and all measures of the boat. Is there anyone else within this forum that have

On a brand new water heater they have a plastic plug in the connections. This may have been pushed into the connection. This can happen in transit. Michael nebo sm251 Sent from Yahoo7 Mail on Android

Thomas, You should have an accumulator tank installed in the hot water circuit near the water heater. This will accommodate the increase pressure when the main engine reaches an operating temperature

On my basic 40 the pressure relief valve is constantly tripping (especially when water is heated by running engine). Also the sealing o-ring can deform and block part of the flow. I'd check those

You didn't say, but the obvious would be that you mixed up the connections between the engine and the the water system. This is easy to do, especially because the orientation of these connection

Thank you for the recommendation Jean Pierre. Best, Dave sv Liesse SN 006

Hi all, I’ve just replaced my hot water heater and I’ve got no hot water pressure! Cold water is great with the pump cutting in and out but the hot water is a dribble. I’ve checked no air locks
