Unvented cylinders are a type of hot water storage system that operates at mains pressure. Unlike traditional vented cylinders, unvented cylinders are directly connected to the mains water supply, eliminating the need for a cold-water storage tank in the loft. They are typically made of stainless steel and can store a significant amount of hot water for domestic use.
Unvented cylinders were first introduced in the UK in the late 1980s. They were developed to overcome the limitations of traditional vented systems and provide a more efficient and reliable solution for supplying hot water. Since then, advancements in technology and strict safety regulations have made unvented cylinders a popular choice for homeowners.
Unvented cylinders offer excellent efficiency in providing hot water. The high-pressure water supply ensures that water is delivered at a consistent flow rate and temperature throughout the property, regardless of multiple outlets being used simultaneously. This eliminates the issue of reduced water pressure experienced in vented systems. Additionally, unvented cylinders are well-insulated, minimising heat loss and ensuring that hot water is readily available whenever needed.
Unvented cylinders deliver water at mains pressure, ensuring powerful showers and fast-filling baths.
With no need for a separate cold water tank, unvented cylinders save space and reduce heat loss, resulting in improved energy efficiency.
Unvented cylinders heat water directly from the mains, providing quicker access to hot water compared to traditional systems.
Unvented cylinder installations require careful planning and professional expertise due to the need for safety features and compliance with building regulations.
Unvented cylinders typically have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional vented systems, including the need for safety devices and professional installation.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the continued safety and performance of unvented cylinders, including annual safety checks and servicing.
