A question more than a comment;

Is the pressure vessel upside down?

Reason I ask is all solar diagrams say the Schrader facing down, old school says facing up and the big vessels on legs it's up.

Who is right?

Doesn't really matter IMO but most MI's I've seen state valve at bottom.

I loves my pottertons mate, suprima has to be my least favourite mind. The boiler was reused hence the vessel, external pump etc. so didn't have much choice.

Vern, out of interest why have you lagged the D2 pipe on your nursing home install?

Welcome Virgil......more pipe protection than anything, it's a working laundry room and small at that, lots of laundry baskets in an out

Kind of confusing having the vessel instructions telling you schrader up and the fitting instructions for the kit telling you schrader down.

Depends on your likes, Schrader down leads to a much higher failure rate in my experience.

Question to whn1: why 22mm HW pipe? 15mm gets the hot water much quicker to the taps. And loosing a few hundred millibar at 3bar standing pressure will not kill you.

But otherwise its just looking bonny.

22mm feeds straight to the bath taps to give optimum flow rate.
