Looking for some advice please!
We've just realised that our architect hasn't left us enough headroom in our loft conversion plans to fit in a reasonable size of hot water cylinder. Have asked our plumber to look into alternatives; either a horizontal cylinder or two cylinders running together). Does anyone have any experience of either of those setups? The plumber hasn't got experience with eithet.
We've got plenty of floor space (1.25m by 2.5m) in the cupboard but not enough height (max 1.375m for a 55cm diameter cylinder).
When the conversion is done we'll have a 6 bed/3 bathroom house (one bath and three showers) so we're looking for as much capacity as possible without being too inefficient. Was thinking 250-300l so a small vertical cylinder isnt an option.
We're replacing a gravity fed system with a new unvented one. Don't know what mains pressure is like, but flow is pretty good (filled up a 4 litre pot in 8 seconds).
Any advice gratefully welcome!
