    WEhat size of unvented cylinder do I need?

    I welcome all suggestions, good or bad because it gives me a direction to look at and help in knowing the options out there. I am warming to the idea of some stored water and some directly heated mains water. This seems to me to solve both the limited amount of space and the need for peak...

    If we are talking about upgrading the boiler then we must add a further three rooms and 7 people which are currently serviced on a separate zone with its own Ariston 210 litre unvented cylinder. So the boiler would have to service all three Megaflows for DHW and the CH demand as well.
