Replacement for this...

[Vinod]

Hello All,

Anyone have any recommendations for a replacement for the below tank.

Cheers

Depends on water pressure either an unvented cylinder or a normal tank feed cylinder

What is it coated in?

 

[Vinod]

no gas only electric in this flat. They have economy 7
Thinking a direct combination economy 7 cylinder

 

[Vinod]

no idea of the coating last plumber
flats were made in the 60's

It made me think asbestos when I saw it !
It may just be that the look reminded me of Boilers lagged in pig muck. It may be something completely innocent. Worth a mention though.

It did cross my mind that it may be asbestos. Will have a closer inspection.
Thanks

Looks like an elson?

Elson unit as mentioned above. Covered in insulation then hardboard. E7 combination unit or unvented. I'm guessing your hot water pressure is quite bad?
