If i have to get another cylinder what make and size do you guys recommend? Dan said around 250, is this not still to big? is it best to stick with Potterton as the its the same make as the boiler? i have seen Potterton Gold Indirect Cylinder Gold 170I for around £500. Im hoping i can...

not even if sitting on a Solid brick wall?

Well that's good to hear! Appreciate your help on this Dan! - is the weight really a major concern if its based in the loft? i had three different plumbers mention it as being a concern. One talked about it needing a base made from RSJs to support it to meet building regs? The cowboys left...

So its a UV GOLD UNVENTED INDIRECT 300L, would you advise its best keeping this one or look for something else? how will this affect long term running costs against something smaller? Im just thinking of long term issues and the headache of paying all over again should anything occur...

Thanks Dan, Ive been told its direct as the mains pipe is going straight up to the loft next to the cylinder (nothing is connected yet just new pipes have been run) i could be wrong? im planning to go up tomorrow and check the details. Ideally i would like to keep this cylinder as it has...

thanks for all the replies, can the service head remain in a WC though? or is there any regulations against this being close to a sink? someone mentioned to board it up and leave it in there (the service cable) and get the board cut down and the meter moved? thanks again
