    You need an expansion tank. Can you show a pic of the piping as installed?

    Is that expansion tank piped to both the heating system and the DHW side but just valved off? what is the pressure on that expansion tank? it should say on the label somewhere the precharge, if someone changed it they would write it in sharpie or something. You also have a bunch of valves partially closed off for some reason?

    Expansion tank it’s like 15 Psi from 40 PS

    From tank it’s pipe to heating not to DHW

    Those partials closed valve I did to reduce pressure in

    Do I need to connect expansion tank to hot water supply to

    Thanks
