Generally, bypassing the expansion tank is *not recommended* as a long-term solution. It can lead to serious problems with the boiler's operation and potentially cause damage. However, in some specific, temporary situations (e.g., during a short-term system maintenance), a bypass might be considered. *Always consult a qualified technician before bypassing the expansion tank.*
