Thermal Store choice

[GVR]

I am about to buy and fit a thermal store and would like to know if anybody has any experience of the following systems -

Heizer TF - www.waterheating.uk.net

Pandora - CPC-150-ABBAA

Gledhill Torrent - T170SP

I have an open vented sytem, and use a Potterton Profile to heat the water in the cylinder.

All three use a different method of heating the water, and some are made of S/S and others copper, is one better than another ?

Thanks

Andy

Hi GVR

I'm also looking at either purchasing or as detailed in threads on here DIY building a system. (see DIY heat bank)

Information on which of those systems might be better or worse is a bit sparse so I'd be interested in finding similar facts if anybody has any.

Hi All
I'm on my third thermalstore (Albion)in 10 years ....they keep rotting through the coil..Make sure they are installed correctly and inhibitor provided.
I'm changing mine in 3 weeks to a Valliant boiler and a stainless mains pressure cylinder so hopefully some trouble free years ahead
Best of luck

Yes, I've heard there have been some issues with the Albion's before.

I want to install and maintain myself though so a Megaflow or any other unvented is out - although I appreciate they are a very good solution.
