I have a standard indirect vented hot water cylinder(gas boiler to coil & top mounted electric immersion heater) with a new covered & vented cold water tank in the attic.
We had solar pv panels fitted a couple of years ago and have just come across the IBost system that will divert excess electricity to the immersion heater.
This seems to produce almost all of the hot water that we need, but it only heats the top 1/3 to 1/2 of the cylinder. The lower section obliviously does not get heated at all.
So in these circumstances are we at risk of legionella problems?
If so, what is the answer.
Cheers.
