Economy 7 Hot water cylinders
The following are two main factors to take into account: The storage volume required to meet peak demand. Typical hot water demand (litres of water at 60oC) selection guide: Standard bath 60 L Corner bath 120L Gravity Shower 30 L Power shower 60 L Wash basins 5 L Kitchen sink 15 L How quickly can the energy source heat the water. With gas or oil boilers, fast recovery cylinders such as Superheat can help you to achieve quicker reheats and reduce the amount of water that needs to be stored. When off-peak electricity (Economy 7 or 10) is used for water heating, it is most economical to heat the total contents of the cylinder overnight. This reduces the need to use immersion heater boost periods during the day when electricity is more expensive. Maxistore cylinders, which were designed to be used in conjunction with "low tariff" electricity, are recommended for all electric applications.
