My guess is the plumber that installed the unvented HW cylinder didn’t have a qualification to do this type of work.The leak has been caused by a number of issues surrounding the installation of the un-vented hot water cylinder. The cylinder immersion has failed allowing the water within to over-boil. I'm told it activates the temperature pressure relief valve to discharge the very hot water safely into a waste or outside thingy. Unfortunately the install for this discharge pipe has been ran into a plastic overflow that is open one end and has failed on multiple points on the other end and is allowing any water that enters it to just run onto the floor
The new cylinder was only put in at the back end of 2020, so clearly done by a plumber who should have know better.
It’s got to be copper, the plastic pipe has to come out.So a new thermostat and some pvc cement glue. 5 minute job.
Ok maybe 10 minutes![]()

Couldn’t he have connected the top immersion for the time being?The plumber felt it would be okay to put the hot water on for an hour if I wanted a bath. But no more. I'm still too nervous about that so will find somewhere else to have a shower.
I dunno. That's all technical stuff to me. He was on an emergency call out for an hour and ,in fairness, gave me longer because he had to go downstairs and check their ceiling and to see if it was likely to affect electrics. So I'm not moaning.Couldn’t he have connected the top immersion for the time being?

What I meant was It was basically to check if it was likely to affect electrics. Not actually inspect them. He said an electrician should install a timer for the immersion here to give better control over the heating of the water. He was clear on what a plumbers job is and what needs an electrician.A plumber checking electrics![]()
I have done twice this week.A plumber checking electrics![]()
Because the D2 pipe has a bend in it less that 500mm from the tundish (like immediately after it..!Couldn’t he have connected the top immersion for the time being?
Yes, 99% of them use mains cold anywayQ for the plumbers:
Is it okay to use the washing machine in the mean time ?
