Joule Cyclone Horizontal Un-Vented Cylinder ?

[ewant]

Hi

Was looking through old threads and found one that dealt with the pros and cons of horizontal un-vented cylinders - but the last post on it was 12 years ago and I was wondering if people's views (& the appliances) had changed much.

We're having a loft extension built with an ensuite. We've had a new combi installed in the kitchen - but we're not happy with the amount of hot water it's pushing out and the builder has advised that we could improve the situation by installing a horizontal unvented cylinder (the only room to put it in is under the eaves).

He's recommending ones made by Joule (https://www.jouleuk.co.uk/erp-bom-product/cyclone-horizontal-un-vented-cylinders/)

We've been told (and I've read) various thing about them ranging from "all horizontal tanks are useless) to "they're great". Does anyone here have an informed opinion?

From what I understand there's no issue here with the water pressure or rate of flow - but I'm not expert.

Any info greatly appreciated.

If you must have a horizontal cylinder, have a Joule

Just have it fitted by some one who understands the effects of stratification in hot water storage vessels,ask your builder
