 |
|
Hi
Can anyone please tell me the best way to totally drain a hot water cylinder that has no drain cock fitted at its base, in order to replace it. Space is limited (currently housed in airing cupboard).
Many thanks

I have a method for doing this but as few people know about it I am keeping it a trade secret as it gives me a commercial advantage.

i too have a way, by any chance tony does yours involve an aqua vac on blow because that works well with cylinders that are below ground level because you cant syphone up hill.
