    Has anyone fit the hot water cylinders with a little heat pump on the top that has ducts to bring inside and outside air in to the unit. Piping up wise is it just the same as a normal direct cylinder?

    Noisy pump

    Hot water pump is very noisy. Is it on its way out, does it need replacing, or is it a case of getting used to the noise? Friend of mine bought a house and says a lot of noise when pump is running. See video attached.
