ok guys,
my Dads currently having a fair bit of work done to his house and as the plumber has added a new shower he says that the current tank is not sufficient and the showers are not mixing properly.
At present there is a cold water tank in the loft, feeding a cylinder on the 2nd floor that feeds hot water for the bathrooms etc
There is now a new shower, and although the cold water (off mains of course!) sprays out at good pressure, the hot water is now pathetic, hence why the apparent need for an unvented cylinder....?
Joinery is more my thing and plumbing I know very little about so I need some advice please.
The unvented cylinder was discussed as 'maybe needed' before the project started...the plumber's standard of work is ok but he has required quite a lot of guidance and seems to be more used to working under direction from a boss rather than solo.
Anyway, my Dads ordered the cylinder the guy told him was needed
primo iti 300 litre
The house is BIG however and has 3 bathrooms upstairs and my Dad didnt want to get an undersized one as this plumber seems to think of things like that only after its been bought...
like 'ohhhh, we could have done with a bigger one maybe'!!!
My question - What certificate is needed to fit an unvented cylinder?
He says he's done a course in them and his business partner (who is definately Corgi registered) will be doing it with him and will sign the guarantee off (he fills me with a lot more confidence).
I dont want any risk of someone getting burned or worse if he fits it incorrectly... he said that there is an overflow on the cylinder so this cant happen?
Is that right?
Guidance needed please!! I want to be aware of all the risks before this work is commenced!!!
