Hot water tank

[Boat blade]

Hi I've got a leak on my hot water tank which is estimated at 12years old.

Does anybody know where i can find a new one from? preferably the same as the old one installed.

 

It has 6 pipes coming out of it.

 

The boat is a steve huddson 2006 narrowboat

^^^^ wot he said. Go the extra mile to find the exact make and model though as fitting it will be so much easier than a conversion job.

Picture?
Dimensions?
Does it have a marked brand or capacity written on it?
 

You have not even said if it is a vertical or horizontal model!

What colour is the insulation around the tank? Current Surecal ones use blue insulation. Maybe other makes use other colours? Does anyone know?

Surecal - yes, smooth shiny blue plastic outer, (certainly for quite a few years now).
Most other makes usually a rougher foam surface, often in a dull green, but sometimes in some kind of beige or ochre colour.

Where is it sited? My Hudson had a surecal mounted on one of the swims horizontaly. A pig to get at. The pipes out will prob be cold in, hot out and two each for two heating coils?

So if it's blue then probably Surecal but otherwise colour is no clue to the maker.

Can the OP confirm that an expansion vessel is fitted? Without these in place calorifiers are stressed and more prone to leaks. Definately worthwhile fitting if not to protect the replacement calorifier.
