Reduce maintenance costs of your thermal store cylinder with water treatment Gledhill cylinders such as BoilerMate and PulsaCoil are generally low maintenance as they are kept at mains pressure and because there is no standing water there is no risk of Legionella or contamination. This also means they are easier to install and can be located almost anywhere. However, in some scenarios, water may need to be treated to reduce the need for maintenance. If you live in a hard water area the water contains a higher than normal amount of minerals calcium and magnesium. When this is left untreated the minerals build up over time clogging up pipework, this applies for all plumbing throughout your home, not just Gledhill cylinders. This problem is commonly referred to as limescale, and prolonged exposure can reduce the lifespan of anything exposed to it. Hard Water affects more people than you think, with around 60% of homes in the UK suffering from it, though...

Thermal stores from companies such as Gledhill have been around for decades, and with the growing popularity of renewable energy, there has never been a better time to invest in a one. A thermal store is a vessel for storing and managing heat until it is needed. It differs from a conventional hot water cylinder as the stored water is not fed to the taps directly from the thermal store. Instead, it is heated up by passing through a plate heat exchanger that transfers heat from the thermal store water to the domestic water. Heat exchangers, especially flat-plate heat exchangers, have the ability to transfer a lot of heat in a short time. Thermal stores can use multiple heat sources to heat the water. A popular option is solar and using a high-efficiency solar coil, the homeowner can benefit from natural solar energy produced during the day. Once the solar energy available is insufficient to heat the store, it will revert to a conventional boiler as its...
