Never seen one piped up this way...direct cylinder vented but mains pressure hot water

Internal coil , used to have external plates

Doesn't make sense to me to overheat water by electricity to heat more water by a coil.
Should have been a direct unvented for me.

Exactly, it was badly designed system

Looks like a poorly installed thermal store should be a data label on it somewhere ? Post a picture of this and we can confirm this, Hep is a no-no pipework should be copper on view in my opinion, any solar panels on the property ? Often these are linked into the thermal stores immersion heater via a I switch or similar . Kop

It’s one of the worst installs I have seen to be honest, it’s literally been thrown in!.. the system is in a flat, electric boiler for the heating and this cylinder for the hot water....just works off two immersions, electrical boiler has failed so I’m replacing that however the client would like to keep the cylinder for financial reasons...I recommend changing the system for a S plan but again it’s all down to finance....we settled on me pulling the cylinder out fitting a new boiler and piping the cylinder back up in copper, I won’t get any job satisfaction off this one unfortunately.

Ask yourself why an unvented wasn’t installed in the first place , it will be the usual suspect
“ The discharge pipe “ no doubt.

Or a lack of understanding.

Got a customer wants his oul combi out, heat only in with vented hot water and shower pumps. Doesn't want one of these dangerous unvented cylinder things.

Go figure. Trying to re educate.
