What’s the Difference Between Vented and Unvented Cylinders?


Choosing the right cylinder depends on your home’s water pressure, layout, and hot water demand. We’ll guide you through the options—but here’s a quick overview:

Unvented Hot Water Cylinders

High Pressure, Mains-Fed Performance.


Unvented systems take water directly from the mains, providing strong flow rates and consistent pressure—even in multiple bathrooms.
  • No need for a loft tank
  • Great pressure at taps and showers
  • Sealed system—less risk of contamination
  • Can be installed almost anywhere in the home
  • Perfect for modern homes and larger families

Ideal if you want powerful hot water across multiple outlets at the same time.

Vented Hot Water Cylinders

Traditional, Gravity-Fed Systems.


Vented systems use a cold water tank (usually in the loft) that feeds water to the hot water cylinder.
  • Simple, reliable system
  • Less expensive to install and maintain
  • Works well in homes with older plumbing
  • Doesn’t require high water pressure from the mains

A good choice for homes with existing gravity-fed systems or where mains pressure is low.
