Hello all, I am planning on ripping out my heating system when it gets a bit warmer, and I am thinking what might be the best way of temporarily heating water (taking the pressure off me a bit!).
My old hot water cylinder has no immersion installed, and the blanking plug is absolutely WELDED on (I've tried belting it, heating it, swearing at it - I'm just crumpling the top of the tank when I try to undo it).
It's only her and me in the house, and we don't mind short showers for a few months.
I thought maybe a tanked electric hot water heater, obviously designed for undersink use, might do the trick for a few months, ~£100 http://www.screwfix.com/p/ariston-europrisma-2kw-15litre-undersink-water-heater/60922
Or maybe a cheaper more-powerful-but-on-demand one ~£60 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-5kW-DAF..._Hearing_Cooling_Air&var=&hash=item4178f92142
Or buy a second-hand cylinder with immersion already installed? Seems less convenient from the point of view of working around it/installing the new system though.
Or indeed if you guys have any other ideas please say! Any and all help very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt.
