Which tank to go for ??

by collectors » Thu Sep 04, 2025 9:55 am

Hi, we are looking at upgrading to a 200Lt presurised 2 emersion tank in our loft & wanted advice on whether to go down the built in expansion or the external. Two reasons i ask is the loft can get cold & 2, i take it an internal preasured bag is not repairable, where as an external one is a very quick job. Any thoughts?. We do have an LPG boiler, but we are just fitting solar & will work out better & cheaper to heat the hot wat via electric. Thanks.

Hi collectors,
Definitely a separate pressure vessel with tool operated isolating valve.
