Should I choose copper or stainless steel for my Gledhill cylinder?

Stainless steel is recommended as the superior option when considering durability and reliability, particularly for unvented systems. While copper has excellent heat conductivity, stainless steel has much higher resistance to all forms of corrosion and can withstand higher pressures.

Should I choose a vented or unvented Gledhill cylinder?

Choose a vented cylinder if budget is your primary concern or you need a reliable replacement for an existing system. Choose an unvented cylinder if space constraints exist or consistent high-pressure hot water is essential throughout your home.

Why are my Gledhill PulsaCoil electricity bills high?

High electricity costs are virtually impossible if the unit is correctly installed and used properly, as units should only heat during off-peak periods unless you manually use the boost function. Check that your boost switch is off and your timer is correctly set to your off-peak hours.

Can I leave my Gledhill thermal store switched off for extended periods?

Gledhill does not recommend leaving your unit switched off for prolonged periods without draining it. If the water in the copper cylinder remains cool for an extended time, the natural rate of corrosion accelerates, reducing the appliance lifespan. Additionally, if power is off, the pump is not exercised regularly and may seize. If you need to leave your property for several months, have the unit professionally drained.

What warranty comes with a Gledhill cylinder?

Warranty coverage varies by product type: unvented cylinders receive 25 years on the cylinder plus 2 years on components; open vented cylinders receive 10 years on the cylinder plus 1 year on components; thermal store appliances receive 5 years on the cylinder plus 1 year on components.
