My central heating is sealed radiator system with an external pressure vessel and pump, megaflo hot water, heated by a Potterton Suprima boiler. The boiler's getting old and I'm expecting to have to replace it shortly. All the advice seems to be that a sealed system should have a system boiler. That makes it more expensive and too big to fit in the cupboard. Can the boiler be replaced with one designed for a vented system, or won't that work these days?

Intergas OV is the perfect replacement.
Most 'Heat Only' boilers will do the job. The world 'as they say' is your oyster!!
At one time the criteria was; as long as it had a high limit thermostat, which most now do have.
I like the Vokera & the Ideal, simple & inexpensive just like me.

Thanks for the advice Dan and Richard. Any particular reason you recommend the Intergas, Dan?
Because they're bomb proof and very versatile.
While the Intergas is very good & there's not a cold inlet valve to tighten on the OV.......
These are very good;

Anyone giving such advice should be given a short sharp slap. FFS.
I fit very few OV/heat only boilers, but I have a list of customers that will not be getting a sealed system - even if it means fitting my favourite boiler with the pressure sensor unplugged and the feed and vent combined on hte return.

Ariston make a great range of boilers AG. But if your a Washer Changer or Course Cowboy, you'll not know how to switch it on!! It's 2017 fella, boilers need to be loved, set up correctly & not fitted by cowboys.
