Porthole Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hello there Does anyone know much about the merits of horizontal hot water cylinders as opposed to vertical ones. We are trying to find a good place for our cylinder and it seems that the understair cupboard would be the best place, but this would only fit a horizontal cylinder in there. I have heard these are not as good as vertical ones but I do not know why. Does anyone know much about these? It sounds a trivial thing but where the plant goes does affect the whole design and layout of our downstairs so it would be really helpful if anyone can shed light on this. Many thanks!!

Bonner Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 In the words of Manuel, I know nothing ... however if you search for “horizontal cylinder” you will find it has been discussed before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adsibob Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It’s because one gets more efficient stratification of hot and cold water in a vertical one. But I think in actual fact, although the vertical ones do work better, the difference in running cost is not so much. If the best place to fit it is in your understand it cupboard, I would just go for a horizontal one. Telford Tempest are apparently quite good.
