I currently have a Baxi Solo 250RS (No fan) & a Primatic cylinder (remember them) all coupled to a micro bore CH circuit.
You know its all original. Circa 1977 I think (The same time Elvis died anyways as the plumbers were all walking around in a daze) Bar the Boiler which was changed ummmmmm 10/12 years ago.... Anyway it all works fine ........ The water in the heating circuit is bloody filthy, C'est la vie ........ Oh yeah I'll get to the point ...... Am I likely to realise any improvement if I replace the cylinder (Lob header tank in the loft) & stick on a motorised valve......? I have heared horror stories about primatics failing & dumping gunky ch water down the hot tap supply........OR should I just wait for the thing to pack up
I tried talking to a heating engineer who told me I really should rip out the whole system & use 25/15mm feeds to the radiators get a sooper dooper computerised boiler & empty my wallet in to his pocket ......... "Because it will cost less to run"....... Effeciency & all that malarky ......... My last set of gas usage calcs came out at a annual gas bill of £450...... Which even by my dodgy maths is just over a pound a day .......... So its going to take me till the end of time to recoup the outlay for a new system ............... Bloody Salesmen
What do you mob think ?
