Hi,
I have a primatic cylinder and would now like to replace this sometime during the spring/summer for a number of reasons. The key ones being, it doesn't produce enough hot water (growing family, tank is small), I can't use any inhibitors in my heating system and I am trying to get more efficiency from the gravity fed system/reduced re-heat time.
So thats the background, I have an ideal 260 boiler with a gravity fed HW circuit and pumped CH circuit. I also have the pump on the return pipe, which isn't great from what I have read.
So, the question I have is can if i replace my primatic with an indirect cylinder, where on the HW circuit do I need to pipe the new central heating header tank (cold feed/vent) ?
How high does this need to be, is higher better as the current header tank or my cylinder is in the loft ?
How can I make the new cylinder more efficient in terms of re-heat times ?
Thanks
