Nope. The piece of my mind will be directed to me. Bearing in mind I need to put a flue liner in before I can get hot water again, the whole set up is now being redesigned. The sad part is that I explained all of this to a couple of installers/plumbers a few months back and they tried to...

Agreed that the job is not as straightforward as I thought, but very glad I posted here otherwise the installer would not only have cost me money but probably a great deal of stress as well! Someone is going to get a piece of my mind in the morning!!! Many thanks to everyone who has contributed...

What is an F&E cistern and how important is one? Thanks

Could well be a direct on gravity - how do I work that out? Please...

Just move the top outlet from the AGA/Boiler to the very top of the vertical side of the cylinder in the diagram above about Primatic systems and that is what I have - ignore internal cylinder stuff.

Would I be able to tell whether the system was primatic or not by feeling inside? From what I feel the inlet pipe goes in and that is that, shining a torch through the hole appears to confirm that. The AGA output is close to the top of the cylinder (but still on the side). Beginning to look like...

I should add that the installer of the system wasn't known for his expertise rather how to do things on the cheap!

3 water tanks in the loft, all connected and act as one. 'Overflow/vent' pipe from top of cylinder goes into top of one of the tanks in a classic 'indirect vented' way. Tanks/system supply hot and cold water throughout house, only other cold comes from kitchen tap that comes direct from mains.

There is no coil. I can stick my finger through the holes and feel the inside of the cylinder in all directions. Does this mean I have a Primatic system and if so how certain are you about that or should I await a second or third opinion. Not saying you are wrong (I don't know) just asking...

OK, the current/old one doesn't have a coil but the plumbing set up is the same as an indirect system. Any suggestions?

Apologies if this question has been posted before, I did try searching... Need a replacement hot water cylinder. Replacing a 1970s copper one. I believe I need an indirect vented cylinder with no coil inside. Set up is similar to any indirect system but hot is heated from an old AGA, no...
