Vented Cylinders

Vented cylinders are traditional hot water storage systems that rely on gravity to deliver hot water to taps and appliances. Vented cylinders are typically installed in properties with a cold water storage tank, usually located in the loft or attic space. These cylinders are fed by a gravity-fed system, where cold water from the storage tank is heated in the cylinder and then distributed throughout the property via gravity.

Advantages of vented cylinders include:

  • Simple and reliable system
  • Suitable for properties with existing gravity-fed systems
  • Cost-effective option for some properties

Unvented Cylinders

Unvented cylinders, also known as pressurised cylinders, are modern hot water storage systems that provide high-pressure hot water directly to taps and appliances. Unlike vented cylinders, unvented cylinders are connected directly to the mains water supply and do not require a separate cold water storage tank. Instead, they are equipped with an internal expansion vessel to accommodate the expansion of hot water as it heats up.

Advantages of unvented cylinders include:

  • High-pressure hot water supply for improved performance
  • No need for a separate cold water storage tank, saving space
  • Reduced risk of heat loss and legionella growth compared to vented systems
