Gravity fed systems are the most common type of water system in the UK. The mains water enters the property and flows through a stopcock before dividing into two pipes. One of the pipes takes water at the mains pressure to the kitchen sink. The other pipe runs into the roof space and fills a large water tank, which feeds the cold taps in the bathroom and the toilet cistern. Water also runs from the tank through a pipe to a hot water cylinder which provides hot water to the bathroom and kitchen sink. They system is called gravity fed because it is only the weight of water falling from the tank which makes it flow through the pies. The water is at a much lower pressure than the mains water (at the kitchen sink) and so a gravity fed system is also called a low pressure system. That is why it is usually recommended to have a shower pump to increase flow rate.

An unvented hot water system is a cylinder where hot water is stored at mains pressure and therefore hot water flow rates are much better than traditional open vented systems. Megaflo is a market leading name for unvented cylinders and manufactured by Heatrae Sadia however there are a large number of other manufacturers producing the same and, in some instances, preferable unvented cylinders

An immersion heater is an electric element which screws into the hot water cylinder tank. It is wired to the mains electrical supply via an isolation switch, a thermostat to control the temperature with built in overheat stat, and sometimes a timer which enables to you set the times you wish to have the water heated. Using a timer, together with a well insulated tank, it is possible to heat the water during the night, when electricity rates are cheaper, and use it during the day.

Power flushing is a process by which heating systems are cleansed from sludge using chemicals with a power flushing pump. The process makes no mess and causes minimal disturbance to your property as no radiators need to be removed. At the end of the power flushing process, the system contains fresh clean water.
