Our system has been in since 89 the return to the boiler is pumped there's no valves at all its a bummer when the bubble bursts when your in the bath.

What Gledhill product?

The Torrent Eco?

 

[REEMS]

I take it thats all i,m going to get then i,m not trying to be clever Dan i,m just saying that is the system i have. I,ve been doing wet plumbing for about 11 years mainly bathrooms and kitchens but not much work on heating systems as i leave that to the guys who do heating systems.
But what i notice on this forum is that some of the trades people rip into the so called DIYER and assume they are all stupid.

Yes Rodger the Torrent ECO

 

[Roger928]

Gledhill provide good electrical schematics on their manual.
You'll definitely have pipework to change over.

Rip out the old then you start from there.
Basically you'll have f&r to heat the store, cold mains inlet to the plate heat exchanger and hot distribution to the taps.

The only reason i ask is its basically the same as the old gledhill cylinder where the water is combined only difference is the hot water is mains pressure through a plate heat exchanger.

Thanks for the replys.

 

[Roger928]

Are you going to run it as dhw only? (ie- not integrated with the heating system)
That keeps things simple. And with only one heating appliance its the way to go imo.

Thanks Rodger i had a bit of a bashing last time i mentioned a thermal store on here, i know they call them sludge buckets i know i could put a combi in and i know all the issues that everyone has mentioned i just want to change my primatic cylinder and also have a woodburning stove installed plus if i leave it open vented i can do it without the need for G3.

At the moment Rodger we have a kingfisher MF 100 with a gravity and return and a pumped return back to the boiler supplying hot water and heating all together.
