Which tank for which system?

Domestic hot water and solar tanks

A domestic hot water tank heats drinking water via an internal heat exchanger. Solar tanks have two heat exchangers, the lower one for the solar system and the upper one for reheating.

Heat pump tanks

Heat pumps operate at low flow temperatures. Heat pump tanks therefore have particularly large heat exchanger surfaces.

Buffer and combination tanks

Buffer tanks store heating water and decouple heat generators from heating circuits; combination tanks combine a buffer section and a domestic hot water section.

Energy label, delivery and installation

Tanks up to 500 litres carry an energy label; the class is shown on the product. Tanks are delivered by freight carrier; the delivery time is shown on the product. Connection should be carried out by a specialist company. On request, our installation partners take care of mounting, installation and maintenance. Matching accessories are listed under heating fittings.

Frequently asked questions about tanks

How large should my hot water tank be?

As a rough guide, 50 to 60 litres per person, depending on habits and heat source. Sizing is done by a specialist company; our specialist advice team is happy to help, Mon to Sun from 8 am to 8 pm.

Do I need a buffer tank with a heat pump?

That depends on the heat pump and the heating system. Many manufacturers recommend a buffer or separation tank to ensure minimum run times and flow rates.
