Water Tanks and Cylinder Plumbing

Water Tanks

Hot water tanks generally last for many years and don’t need to be replaced that often. However, if you’re having a property extension you may require a larger water tank, or maybe you have one that’s leaking?

Whatever the requirement, it’s highly recommended you speak to your local plumbing and heating engineer for advice.

There are different types of water tanks and cylinders used in buildings throughout the UK, and they are generally all directly connected to a boiler and water supply, so it’s not a straightforward job to fix or replace.

You will also need to consider the required storage space for it, your current boiler capabilities and overall hot water demand.

Water Cylinders

Investing in the right hot water cylinder for your property can benefit both your lifestyle, and pocket. You will also help protect the environment by choosing the correct cylinder size, model and material.

We will take all the time you need to look through the options and advise on the type of hot water cylinder / tank most suitable for your needs.

With some answers to a few simple questions, we can then use a hot water calculator to help determine the approximate size of cylinder your property requires.

So, what is the difference between a vented and unvented hot water cylinder? The main difference is whether you use a direct or indirect plumbing and hot water system.

Unvented water cylinders can be less expensive to install, they provide hot water constantly and are supplied directly by the mains water. A vented hot water cylinder requires a vent pipe and is fed by a cold water storage tank before heating and distributing hot water throughout the property.
