Tim S coughed up some electrons that declared:


Gledhill is a nice appliance but full of specialist bits (cf DPS). I don't
think this one uses a plate exchanger either for HW.

OK - I lied. Boilermate OV (open vented) (and it's solar option sister) do
have a plate exchanger for HW.

And upon further reading, it uses a modulating pump for the HW (and for
solar on the related model).

I must recheck that my quote was correct, for if it is, it looks a better
system for 400 quid less than the DPS. OK, it has a fancy computer board
which costs anywhere upto 200 quid to replace, but there's going to be
compromises...

Spare parts seem readily available and, barring the control board, at
reasonable prices.

Any other vendors worth looking at?

Cheers

I recently saw a 500 litre AKVA tank in operation and it certainly
does the business. I think they sell a couple of versions. The one I
saw had a full height coil for DHW and a lower solar coil. It also had
numerous bosses and the chap told me they had helluva game getting
suitably fitting blanks as nothing was supplied. So its a great piece
of kit, but you will definitely have to do some legwork if you get
one.

Ah, one of these:

or

I notice they do a 300l which is more the size.

Could do with reading a manual on it.
