No idea. But I have drained a few and topped them back up and never been back to change one even though I have serviced them.

As previously stated. Learn something new everyday.
condensation is water vapour suspended in air until it is cooled below it's due point. At which time it becomes water. Granted this may happen if your expansion vessel is in an unheated area, but not in any great quantity.
Membrane or to give it its full name 'Impermeable Membrane' is not permeable. If it were it wouldn't be very good at its job.
A far more plausible cause of water on air side of membrane would be a small hole in membrane or compromised seal.
Also not ever being called back to an address is not evidence that your original repair was successful, in fact you may find it to be quite the opposite.
When they are recharged with a foot pump water goes in with the air depending on humidity. Think they're filled with nitrogen from new and I have read that if nitrogen leaks out then replace vessel?!?Never heard of that before. How does the moisture get into the air side of the vessel to begin with?
