Can anyone recommend a good make for an unvented indirect cylinder 200 litres

[Eyespy999]

Hi,
My old chaffoteaux unvented indirect 200L is on its way out. I have had a few quotes and after some impartial advice. The price of the job is not important just that the cylinder is of a good quality.

I have been quoted:
Kingspan Albion
Gledhill stainless lite
Plumb Centrestore

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks

There all quite good makes, the plumb Center store I was told is made my mega flo too but not sure if that's true!

I normally fit Gledhill & no problems yet

Megaflo, Center store and santon, all made in the same factory. Go for the cheapest of the last 2. Megaflo are a pain in the backside!

i always opt for one with an external pressure vessel no problems with air bubbles disolving

Adding to this topic instead of creating a new one: I ran into Dimplex, are they any good? What I like about them is they seem to have a display indicating the current water temperature and how much water is currently available.

In my current home I have an old Gledhill Pulsacoil 2000. It's working for now, but these units are dying throughout this building and I want to get rid of it before it dies for real to avoid spending a week without warm water. From what I understand thermal stores were an interesting and promising idea 10y or so ago when this block was built, but turned out to be less impressive. I also hate the unit because it's a metal box with two fault lights that won't tell me whether it can still delivery enough hot water for a long-ish shower in the afternoon (usually, it cannot).

So I'm looking at either Gledhill, Megaflo, or Dimplex. As said, the latter sounds initeresting because of the indicator, but I have the impression that most plumbers rather see as little electronics on a boiler as possible. Are they really much more fragile?
