A total hot water package
Torrent provides mains pressure hot water and is suitable for gas, oil, electricity or installations using renewable energies such as solar or heat pump. It is safe, open vented, highly insulated and efficient. Torrent is a hot water thermal store that does not require expensive safety valves and is designed to upgrade existing traditional hot water systems.
Mains pressure hot water
Torrent thermal stores provide:
- Mains pressure hot water giving 'power shower' performance
- Deliver up to 25 litres per minute filling a standard bath in 3-4 minutes
- Provide a dry roof space eliminating the risk of freezing pipes/tanks in winter
- Increased system efficiency, reducing running costs
Low cost installation/maintenance
Easy to install Torrent can be fitted to existing systems, including the existing boiler and controls, where appropriate. Unlike unvented cylinders, Torrent does not require expensive safety controls or the need to plumb temperature and pressure relief pipework to outside. External expansion vessels are not required and wiring is the same as any traditional Y,S or W plan system. Torrent thermal
stores do not require any annual maintenance.
Long life
The thermal store is manufactured from copper sheet to BSEN 1653:1998. The computer designed heat exchangers are produced from finned tube and incorporate a patented expansion chamber which is sealed for life. The units are tested hydraulically and pneumatically, both during and after manufacture.
