Hi Winty, Just returned from a week away, so slow in responding. Coldstream 450 accumulator has been supplying our combi plus cold water to showers since it arrived - how long ago is it now - ten months? Did you ever get one? I could send some photos of the connections etc because there is...

Hi Tony, Yes, I will now replace an accumulator that is only three years old. However, it would be unfair to use this as an indication for the high cost of an accumulator, for two reasons. 1. My current accumulator still works just fine. The black residue lasted for about three days and...

Hi Winty, Putting it outside sounds interesting. Note, though, that you will have to prevent it from freezing. Last winter was awfully cold!! If there is a longer cold spell you're in trouble, no? A wooden lean-to might not be sufficient... maybe if it is well insulated and some kind of...

NOTE: See comment by Steve32 later in this thread about the correct way to connect an Altecnic accumulator. Hi Winty, I’m not a plumber. However, we have an Altecnic 300 liter expansion vessel installed in our house, which, yes, serves us as an an accumulator. When I first considered...
