You amaze me. I am getting used to my boiler costing a fortune.

A dreaded Potterton Flowshure+ hence integral but (for once) easily

one
for that price.

If the one in the boiler is easily exchanged (they usually are very
inaccessible) then the manufacturers replacement is worth paying the
extra
(probably double) over a generaic component that would have to be
fitted
elsewhere.

If you do replace it with a generic vessel, fit it on the return pipe.

What's the reason for that?

Cooler, and you will find that most system/combi boilers have them there
anyhow.
