Sea Dog Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 ^^^^ wot he said. Go the extra mile to find the exact make and model though as fitting it will be so much easier than a conversion job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_fincher Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Picture? Dimensions? Does it have a marked brand or capacity written on it? You have not even said if it is a vertical or horizontal model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjw Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 What colour is the insulation around the tank? Current Surecal ones use blue insulation. Maybe other makes use other colours? Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most other makes usually a rougher foam surface, often in a dull green, but sometimes in some kind of beige or ochre colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Hudson had a surecal mounted on one of the swims horizontaly. A pig to get at. The pipes out will prob be cold in, hot out and two each for two heating coils?

So if it's blue then probably Surecal but otherwise colour is no clue to the maker. Can the OP confirm that an expansion vessel is fitted? Without these in place calorifiers are stressed and more prone to leaks. Definately worthwhile fitting if not to protect the replacement calorifier.
