He does not deny that it is sometimes done, merely that it is the simplest option. The fact that it is an costed option, rather than standard would indicate that it is not the simplest one.

Do you have some figures to demonstrate that what I saw and measured is incorrect? It is possible that there may be something to gain with an older boiler, but I see no evidence with a recent condensing product and fast recovery cylinder.
So in other words with most or all of the capacity of the cylinder always available as I pointed out.....
Well it isn't unless you have specific figures.
With all of the capacity and one thermostat near the bottom.
So how does it behave? Do you have figures? (and your CORGI registration)
Sorry but it isn't - I made the measurements myself.
Only if the cylinder is unable to absorb the heat being produced by the boiler.
That isn't good English.
If I could be bothered, I would dig out the thread reference, but it would be a pointless discussion since you would argue that black is white anyway.
.. and this makes it a good idea? Do you believe everything you read on web sites?
If you want to have an arrangement with a small amount of storage sometimes and a lot at other times and don't mind the wait to heat up the difference, then fair enough.
Other than that, the exercise is pointless unless you have an old fashioned boiler.
The simplest way to improve efficiency, rather than buy an expensive sophisticated boiler. Then there is the matter of effective making your cylinder bigger by adding some simple controls.
It is. You and never are in the dictionary.
That was a useful contribution wasn't it :-)
We're not discussing the simplest way of improving efficiency. We're discussing the simplest method reheating a cylinder.
The methods being discussed have some advantages. Increased simplicity isn't one of them, although it may not be sufficient disadvantage to preclude their implementation.
Christian.
English good is this? Think so you.
Christian.
I think that you would get a similar effect to what I saw on any recent condensing boiler
But you haven't - you made it "smaller", except for adding a flow switch to start the boiler earlier than the thermostat would. Everything else made it worse from the capacity perspective.
.
It was. Yours wasn't.
No we are not.
A lot more simple than a host of electronics.
Yep.
No bigger as it gives a larger volume of hot water.
Nonesense.
What "host of electronics" ?
Are you sure those were "Yoga" lessons you went to ;->>
I qoute from your original.
"The simplest method to re-heat a cylinder. Have two cylinder stats, top and bottom of the cylinder either strap-on or immersed."
Your statement was that this method was the simplest method to re-heat a cylinder. It is a method to heat the cylinder, it may even be a better method in some circumstances, but it is NOT the simplest.
Christian.
From where?
How does adding a thermostat which has the effect of allowing most of the cylinder contents to fall to cold water temperature increase the volume of hot water?
Correction. Typo. The simplest method to efficiently re-heat a cylinder.
