The Benefits of an Unvented Hot Water Cylinder

If your home was built before 1989, you may probably have a vented cylinder in your heating system installed in your home. This means that any appliances in need of hot water are fed through the cold-water storage tank and heated using an exchanger.

However, modern properties tend to feature unvented systems, which feed water directly from the mains directly into a hot water cylinder.

What are the advantages of unvented hot water cylinders?

There are many benefits that come along with unvented cylinders and we have listed them for you! Here are some of the most important advantages...

1. Enjoy Improved Water Pressure

As unvented systems aren’t reliant on gravity, there’s far less distance for water to travel. Because of this, installing an unvented system in your home can immediately improve your water pressure, making showers far more enjoyable and Monday mornings more pleasurable as a result. There are also built-in safety devices on these systems, ensuring that the pressure never reaches an unsafe level.

2. Save Space in your Home

One of the biggest benefits of an unvented hot water cylinder is that it helps you to save space in your home, as there is no need for a spare water tank. These spare tanks are usually installed in the loft, so if you are looking to convert your loft at some point in the future or simply install a self-contained boiler that frees up space in your home, you will be able to achieve this with an unvented hot water system.

This is particularly important in new-build homes, which tend to be smaller and more restrictive for families that are looking to grow.

3. There’s Less Chance of Contamination

These types of cylinders enable you to remove the large, cold-water tank from your loft,  reducing the chances of contamination from an unvented hot water cylinder. In fact, this type of system is completely sealed, so there’s far less chance of contaminated water coming through your taps or showerhead.
