Hey All

I've got a new house with a "Boilermate II
from Gledhill Water Storage Ltd"

Nice. A class act. I have the Gledhill Systemate.


I hope you both have good service contracts for them! A quick search
seems to indicate a lot of people with nightmare experiences within a
couple of years!

Been perfect. I searched and the problems mainly on the Boilermate are
rather silly and minor. One on plumbing pages had a silted up plate heat
exchanger. Gledhills come with strainer. I assume it was left off.

It has a control board and Maxie may tell us if he gets may Gledhill
boards
in these days. You can strip out the board and install a blending valve,
flow switch, stem stat and away you go.

The Gledhill's do not have flow switches or blending valves, modulating the
DHW pump to maintain the DHW temperature at the taps. If a blending valve
requires replacing it may cost as much as a Gledhill control board. As
Gledhill have few mechanical components, cost of maintenance over the years
will be less than other heat bank systems. Also the control boards do far
more than basic mechanical and electro/mechanical controls, making them
cheaper to run in most cases.
