A question for the Heating Engineers out there familiar with Megaflow/Santon Systemfit Cylinders.
I have one of the pre-plumbed Megaflow Systemfit cylinders waiting to be installed but have now decided to replace my old boiler (which was not originally planned) with a new one at the same time. I've been looking around and have decided upon one of three makes of boiler, ATAG, Remeha or Viessman. I've noticed while looking that the System boilers that they tend to offer better/more advanced technology's over their Regular boiler counterparts, for example while all of the above offer makes offer Weather Compensation in the models I'm looking at they all appear to have more sophisticated Weather Compensation on their System boilers than they do on their Regular boilers (it's not just WC but quite a bit of other tech as well).
So my question is bearing in mind I already have the pre-plumbed cylinder how much re-engineering will be required to use a system boiler over a regular boiler? Just so I get it clear in my head and so I don't go out and get new boiler that is going to to cause a lot of re-engineering and cost a fortune to have installed am I right in thinking that in laymen's terms it's basically just going to be a case of having the cylinder pump removed and then it will we able to support a System type boiler??
If the cost of modification is going to outweigh the benefits of the additional features that I'll just have to bight the bullet and live with a Regular boiler.
Just one further question, most the the Regular boilers are Open Vent (this is another reason I would prefer a System Boiler) but I presume these can be sealed aswell?? as I really would like to do away with an FE tank for the boiler.
