The whole point of a thermal store (or a heat bank as it is in this case, since you're using a heat exchanger for water takeoff) is that you use the store's water directly. That's what we do. We do have a coil too for when there's no sun but since it was all connected about three weeks ago we've only used the immersion heater a couple of times. Mary |

thanks for help.
grunff: want coil so circuit can be filled with antifreeze, not whole store. also you want a small volume of water in circuit if poss. wood burner will be direct thanks Peter K this was useful |

No difference with a plate heat exchanger. also you want a small volume of water in circuit if poss. Even less with a plate heat exchnager. wood burner will be direct thanks Peter K this was useful |

That is true, but more expensive: additional coil in cylinder = £40,
heat exchanger = £100-150 thanks all I'm OK for now. would recommend heatweb.com for unusual cylinder requirements (until I receive my estimate maybe?) cheers |

Not cheap. If you have a specification many other companies can quote. |
