Calorifier

[jddevel]

Is there any other manufacturers I should consider when researching a calorifier other than Surecal

please? They appear to be the most commonly used.

We have a surecal in one boat and a 'Quick Water Boiler' in the other - both work perfectly well but the 'Quick' looks a 'neater' job.

Italian manufacture but a UK agent with local parts stocking.

I've got one from Cleghorn waring. I like it cos the pipe layout suited my installation & the immersion heater is at the bottom meaning a whole tank of hot water.

 

Cheers

Gledhill will, I believe, make one up to your individual specification if you are picky about what you want.

 

Or they used to offer this service anyway.

Any one have experience of these people. I know you are supposed to get what you pay for, but they seem reasonably priced or to me anyway

Any grade 1 cylinder will suffice, but if you can find a manufacturer locally, then you can specify where you want the connections and the immersion boss. I have seen many installed horizontally that were designed to be vertical, where the outlet is connected to the top, which means you will only ever get 1/2 of the volume of useable hot water. You also need to be aware that any outlets need to be able to allow the cylinder to fill. Some I have seen will always have a couple of inches at the top that can never fill, and bleeding the primary circuit is almost impossible, with the resultant airlock impeding satisfactory operation.

the local farm shop at Norton Canes usually stocks a few

Yes WotEver that's the one. Obviously my copy and paste "failed"
