Plumbers for Cisterns & Header Tanks

IN BIRMINGHAM

If you do not have a combination boiler, it is likely that your hot water comes through an open vented stored hot water system, fed by a header tank which is usually located in your loft.

Cold water is stored in the header tank and fills a cylinder which will heat the water and supply your taps, bath and possibly your shower. The problem with having a header tank in a loft space is that it may be subject to freezing, especially if you have insulated the floor space in the loft as this will prevent warm air from rising and stopping the pipes and tank from freezing. Ensure that your header tank and pipes are well lagged and insulated to avoid problems in the colder months.

An alternative to an open vented stored hot water system is an unvented hot water cylinder. Usually this will mean that there won’t be a need for a high level header tank. The hot water cylinder will often be located in a cupboard and will be fed by the mains water supply. The water is then heated by the boiler  or electrical elements.

The benefit of an unvented hot water cylinder is that you have higher hot water pressure which makes for better quality showers, without the need for a pump, however it does rely on the pressure from the mains supply.
