Hi,
Just opened the airing cupboard and noticed the cold water tank was sweating, had condensation all around it. I dried it off with some towels and left he airing cupboard door open for ventilation but the condensation returned the next day.
Does anybody know what i can do to stop this from happening.
Thanks

The air you are ventilating with must be warm and holding a lot of moisture.
You either dry the air with a dehumidifier, or as already suggested insulate the cold water tank.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0 -
Insulate the tank. If you can get a ready made tank insulation jacket then use that. If you cannot, then get some polystyrene sheet and stick it to the outside of the tank, with no-nails or polystyrene adhesive.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0
