    Hi, could I get some advice on this please. I'm thinking about making this change to unvented indirect hot water cyclinder as I currently have an old copper cylinder with very low hot water pressure. Is there much in changing over. I have oil heating and immersion connected to solar pv. My house is 30 years old.

    Confirm your email address so you can post properly. Then you can ask in an appropriate forum instead, such as the Plumbing and Heating forum:

    If you have low pressure why don't you install a pump downstream of your hot water cylinder?. Then there is no impact on the cylinder. Changing cylinder in itself does not solve your pressure problem, you'll most probably need a pump anyway.
