jayc89 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I need to replace our 250L UVC for something larger, as the 4 of us regularly drain it when we shower/bath at similar times. We're currently on a gas system boiler, but will eventually switch to a heat pump. Is there any reason why I couldn't buy a replacement UVC that's "heat pump ready" now, whilst still running it off the system boiler? Presumably it would allow me to run the boiler at a slightly lower temp too, if I wanted to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMo Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Basically you will have a quick recovery cylinder. No issue driving a heat pump coil from a gas boiler. I found "Ideal" cylinders from City Plumbing to be very well priced. Come with a 28mm 3 port diverter valve and all the safety bits. I would upgrade to a digital dual thermostat, for about £20. Thing to concider If you are running out of water with a gas boiler, you don't stand much hope with a heat pump, with lower storage temperatures.
