Advice please for additional UVHWSC

[Jim Goodenough]

hi all,

A customer wants me to add (in series) an additional 200 ltr UVHWSC to the existing Gledhill StainlessLite Solar 300 ltr one. It's heated via gas boiler, Schuco solar and single immersion (immersion is approx 1/3 from the top so is just used for boosting). It also has secondary HW loop.

It's really the overheat electrical controls that I'm more concerned about.

Alternatively I could recommend he removes the 300 ltr and installs a 400 or 500 ltr.

Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers Jim

Done a few jobs like that Jim I used Rinnari direct fired water heaters , could you leave the pub and kitchen on the cylinder and put the showers on a water heater or vise versa, the biggest user or hotwater would probably be the kitchen ??

Weight too, you already have about 400kg, want to add another 300kg in a loft?
