    I was fitting some new lights for a couple recently. They have installed a small unvented water heather that leaks water. It appears not to have an expansion vessel or pressure reducing valve as required by the makers, or a pressure relief valve. It has no discharge pipe to outside.

    I made the husband aware of a maker's warning label on the front of the heater case whish reads IF THIS HEATER LEAKS WATER IMMEDIATELY TURN IT OFF AND CONTACT AN ENGINEER.

    He seemed irritated that I had told him about this, and I believe that he will ignore the label's advice.
