Over how big of an area is it spread? If it would be long runs you could go for 2 cylinders.

You could link two or more together if you wanted to, I use oso and the biggest they do I think is 300ltrs.

In fact i would say it 'is' two cylinders !!
6 bathrooms fair old amount of hot water required

As above if the bathrooms are spread about the house can you have two cylinders in different locations or look it up on the megaflow etc website tell u what each cylinder is designed to support

Both need to be in the same place so was thinking two cylinders and a secondary hot around the the lot.


Thanks for all your help

You can get as big as you want.

Personally I would go for 2 smaller ones. It will be cheaper to replace in a failure. And will be quicker to heat because of the extra coils.

What boiler were you thinking of using I heat this?

Andrews may be the better option. Some of their newer HE models can re-coup in about 14min on a 300l. And there's less pipework involved
