Boiler:
It is the responsibility of the landlord (flat owner) to organise regular checks (yearly) of the water tank/boiler by a qualified
plumber and in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and recommendations.
If the air gap in the heater is not replenished routinely then this will give rise to water being discharged unnecessarily via the blow off pipes. This is currently evident from the water discharg taking place in the basement car park.
Such lack of maintenance can also cause costly issues like water floodings which could damage your furniture, carpet, walls, wooden floors as well as the flats below. If your boiler leaks, you will also pay a little fortune in electricity as the overflow is hot water.
The pages below will show you one way to detect a leaking tank and how it is possible to do a basic boiler service. This is in no way an endorsement of a method for doing it, neither a request nor an invitation to perform this procedure. You accept full responsibility for performing these steps.
The steps below are show for a MEGAFLO tank. We recommend that you refer to the MEGAFLO manufacturer instructions/manual or from your supplier. (Google search on MEGAFLO)
