Not just the static pressure but probably letting all the air out ( which can also contain water on the air side! The bracket setup for this one is well dodgy as if it breaks off the wall it will fall on the other pipes and I'll be in a whole lot of trouble!

Initially I thought the image on the product listing has like an oem - non label and non branded product. The installer of the system was in last year to pump up the vessel and said it was unlikely to last much longer, however looking at Gas Safe the installers of that firm now have no unvented certs so hesitant to get them back in.
