Same here. Far better flows from gravity. The new age plumbers have lost sight of the benefits of gravity.
And no pressure vessel wanting to blow joints off and flood the home.
Look up a hot water only thermal store cylinder. Water stored and heated at low pressure, a high pressure coil gives instant heating to the incoming cold water. So high pressure main water pressure at the taps.
Find out the difference of an unvented cylinder to a hot water only vented thermal store.

So many assumptions. So little knowledge. Reading some of the member's posts are comedic gold.
I do like to have fun myself, but didn't Intergas make a thermal store of some description?
Where would I find that nugget of pure gold , is it a secret like bernards source?
Reading some of the manufacturer's brochures is comedic platinum.
Plantpot, what was that boiler and combined cylinder they made?
Just one maker. Many around.....
Thermal Stores
Thermal stores take a completely different approach to delivering hot water.
Rather than drawing from the stored hot water, the thermal store forces the mains pressure cold water through a high efficiency heat exchanger coil which draws its heat from the surrounding “Thermal Store” to heat the water for the taps.
The thermal store approach offers a number of benefits depending on the application:
- Extremely energy efficient reducing running costs
- Can be used with Solid Fuel
- Can run central heating from the thermal store
- Instant hot water and heating
- Extremely reliable as there are fewer mechanical components
- Easy to install
- No annual maintenance
- Fresh mains water at hot and cold taps
- Zero legionella risk as no stored water is fed to taps
- No risk of explosion
- No large pressure relief pipe through outside wall
- No recharging of pressure vessel
- No complex, expensive, pressure controls

I'm not sure what side of stupid you're going to land on here... epic.... or embarrassing. They didn't make a thermal store.

It was under a rebadge named Atmos. Here it is Plantpot. I don't know what sort of cylinder it is, but a combined cylinder and boiler. I never looked:

Plantpot, all Intergas boilers were Atmos. That was an Atmos. I never read the document as I couldn't be bothered.
Sooooo stoooopid.
Post up your address and I'll organsie the shovel.
If all Intergas boilers were Atmos, then where is the Prestige?
