Default Which Unvented Cylinder

I am to decide between 3 cylinders which will be coupled with my Underfloor
Heating system. My plumber has allowed for a Range 250Lt Stainless Steel
Cylinder. But I have the option to either go for on of the following:
Viessmann
or
Chelmer Thermal Store 280 Lts (this I am told is around £1600)

So, it is matter of guidance between the 3 cylinders which one would be most
suited for a House with 3 Baths/showers. Also I wouls like good pressure
and the ability to add Solar in future.

Any guidance pls.

Sid

If you want to go solar, you should be considering a heat bank, such as a
DPS Pandora. Pressure is determined by your water supply, not the unvented
cylinder/heat bank, except that a heat bank, being fundamentally safer,
might not require a pressure reducing valve.

He has UFH, so a full heat bank is the way. Heat banks, thermal store
operate at low pressure. Unvented cylidners are potential bombs.

Newark Cylidners do just thermal store, but are cheap. Do a Google for them.
Range cylinders, RCM, etc, etc.

At 3 baths it is going to be some size. Some makers fit all the pumps and
controls which appear more expensive, but whenall costed int's not that bad.
