    Hi there

    We have an out door pump for our main water supply.

    This morning we discovered an issue. It looks like the pressure vessel has a leak.

    It's a 40 litre horizontal Varem.

    Anyone know who can replace or fix them?

    I have called a few places but no one seems to know

    Thanks

    Most plumbers will replace them, though your looks a difficult job. That enclosure looks like it was built after the vessel was installed, without much consideration to future work.

    Ask in some local plumbing shops. They will know of people in the area who will replace them.

    Roughly what area are you in?

    Hi thanks for the response.

    Yeah it wasn't the most forward thinking work was it.

    The vessel is 40 litre but maybe a 25 litre would be sufficient.

    You are right, It's not an easy job. I tried take the bolts out and are rusted.

    We are in South West Dublin but so most plumbers around here would not be too familiar with wells etc

    Thanks
