Hi,
Not sure I have the right section for this but ..
I need to replace a standard indirect cylinder and header tanks with a Heatrae Indirect Megaflo unvented cylinder or similar.
At present the system works fine and there is no overheating of the cylinder, but in order to get rid of the header tanks and increase flow to the hot taps (which is the object of the exercise) I need a mainsflow type cylinder.
The problem is the only viable heat source, which is anoil fired four oven AGA.
I am told that the direct mainsflow systems are inefficient when used with an Aga and therefore would like to fit the indirect type.
Has anyone out there done this before and if so, did you just connect the flow /return from the Aga as with the standard cylinder or was some sort of in-line diverter valve needed to avert the possibility of the cylinder water boiling.
Thanks
