Also when I purchased the description said "The vessels are supplied with a replaceable membrane" , I assumed this meant an extra/spare membrane for the service.THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE VESSEL IS TO COMPENSATE FOR THE INCREASE IN VOLUME OF WATER DUE TO THE VARYING WATER TEMPERATURES IN THE SYSTEM, E.

This seems to be a simple job of emptying the cyclinder below the line in the picture and islolating the feeds. If water is required by the system, it starts flowing out of the tank without using the pump but just using the pressure in the air cushion.
