    Why not change to a Pressurised Unvented Stored Hot Water.?

    With a pressurised central heating system there is no cold water storage tank or central heating header tank. Water is heated in a special cylinder at mains pressure. Because water is pre-heated, it can be delivered to more than one tap at a time as with a conventional cylinder.
