Replace hot water cylinder

[plymbridge]

I have an Albion CF80 Super Duty hot water cylinder which appears to have a slight leak on its tank top connection. The system includes a twin shower pump and all is working fine apart from the leak. It is at least 25 years old and may mean my replacing the super duty cylinder.

Am I better to consider replacing the whole system with a new pressurised installation.

I'd repair the leak first and see if that works. Even an 'auld Tipperary job' might give you a few years.

Is there a connection that just needs to be slightly tightened? If not, and depending on the leak, I'd try some epoxy putty or some first before replacing anything.

Could be as simple as making good the joint.
Obvious 'first port of call' I would have thought.
Certainly much better than ripping out the whole system.
