They 'need' annual servicing by a G3...

    Insulate a Unvented Cylinder

    Hi I have a warmflow unvented water cylinder (indirect 250) in a hotpress. It was installed two years ago, but never had any lagging put around it. Wanted to ask if that would have been for a reason why it wouldn't have, and also would insulation be a good idea to warp around the tank? Thanks
