Unvented cylinder?

Can I fit a HomeBoost® to an unvented cylinder?
Asked 9 years ago by Jonathan

There is no benefit to fitting a HomeBoost® to an unvented cylinder. A typical unvented cylinder has minimum requirements of 1.5 bar or 20 – 25 l/min.

The HomeBoost® cannot deliver the required flow rates if fitted to the incoming mains supply as the 12l/min flow is split between the hot and cold pipework.

If plumbed directly to the cylinder feed, then the hot and cold mixed at the outlet will potentially become unbalanced, leading to the possibility of scalding.
