Cheers. See other thread from the poor multiple post....

The heat bank idea is growing on me - esp if I can't find a plumber!
Just wish I could chat to someone for 1/2 hour over a beer and a pen &
paper so I can fully understand how the heck everything works. i.e.
exactly what pipe does what (why aren't they all labelled!?) which
would help with a full replacement!

hahahahaha!!!

Time for some Sunday beer contemplation and surfing of plumbing sites.

Replace it with a heat bank. They operate at low pressures. Forget an
unvented cylinder.

If the cylinder needs replacing - then I guess that is a reasonable
idea. However I've read that these [may] need descaling every couple
of years or so - and hence the running costs are very expensive?

Heats banks have a plate heat exchanger. These stainless steell flexible
plates that resist scale. In a hard water areas a phosphor de-scaler should
be fitted anyway, no matter what type of system you have.
