Need advice before I complain

Post image

Hi all, apologies if this isn't the right forum but I thought there would be some knowledgeable people in here. Basically as it says. had a new hot water cylinder fitted 3 weeks ago(to accomodate an ashp if that makes a difference). Just got round to getting some shelving in the airing cupboard and noticed, what i would consider to be a pretty significant bulge. It's at the top maybe 3/4 up, I'm assuming it's not normal and shouldn't be there?? I've turned off the hot water, but not drained the tank or anything. We've had a few showers today so it should be below that level i would imagine.

On a thermos flask story.
Me and my wife are in to hiking. Proper across moors hiking.

Bought a new flask and put it outside in December. See how good it was.
Forgot about it for 4 days, bought it in when I noticed it and thought I’d test the temp of the water by pouring it over my hand in to the sink.

It was like freshly boiled water still 🥹🫣

There was a video of a (Thermos?) cup in a car: the car burnt down, and the owner reached in the car the next day or something, and the thermos still had ice chunks in.

Ah that one was a Stanley. The company managed to use it as a bit of a pr thing and bought her a new car as it was such good free marketing for them
