| Easy Installation | |
| All controls and pipework are
mounted on the front face of the unit for ease of installation and
maintenance. The revolutionary design enables rapid second fixing using
copper or approved plastic piping and a variety of optional fixings, such as
flexible pipes and push-fit connections.
In addition, Gledhill can now supply, as a factory option, manifolds that can be mounted on any appropriate surface and fed directly from the thermal store/mains supply. Details are available on request. |

|
Mains Pressure |
| Mains pressure systems offer so many benefits over conventional gravity-fed systems including a dry roof space, with no tanks or pipes in the loft - so no need to worry about freezing pipes in the winter. All this plus mains pressure hot water to all the taps an power shower performance. | |
|
Hot Water |
| With hot water delivered up to 35 litres per minute, BoilerMate 2000 has the capability to cope with high simultaneous demand - this gives the ability to run a bath and take a shower at the same time. In addition, recent tests have shown the BoilerMate 225 during a one hour peak period produces the same amount of hot water as a 350-400 litre unvented cylinder. | |
|
Responsive Central Heating |
| The primary water in the BoilerMate 2000 Thermal Store is always available instantly at optimum temperature, so there's no long wait for heating to warm up, and there are models in the range suitable for applications from a single bedroom right up to a six bedroom house. | |
|
Quality Water |
| As both the cold and hot water come direct from the mains, it is high quality potable water at every tap which eliminates the risk of legionella as well as contamination by dirt or insects. The plate heat exchanger, combined with Gledhill's microprocessor technology, removes the need for inline scale inhibitors on the branch of the appliance. | |
|
Thermally Efficient |
| The unit is insulated with very high efficiency foam but this is totally encased on a steel jacket. It is not widely appreciated that uncased foam can lose up to 40% of it's insulation value of the first few weeks. This ageing is dramatically reduced if the foam is steel cased and of course this eliminates the serious consequences of toxic smaoke in the building in the event of a fire. | |
|
Maintenance Free |
| Unlike an unvented cylinder, BoilerMate 2000 does not require an annual check by a competent engineer. It is a failsafe system and this reduces the responsibility placed on landlords and householders when compared to an unvented installation. | |
|
Construction |
| Thermal store is manufactured from copper sheet conforming to BS 2870. BoilerMate 2000 is supplied factory-insulated to maximise savings, with a galvanised mild steel case finished in mushroom and jade. All installation fixings and service requirements can be carried out from the front of the unit, so there is no access required from the sides. | |
|
Microprocessor Control |
| BoilerMate 2000 incorporates an integrated microprocessor-based digital control system and wiring centre. This intelligent control control system automatically commissions the appliance and provides full fault diagnostics. | |
|
Heating Programme Clock |
| The BoilerMate 2000 central heating programme is controlled by an electromechanical time clock, supplied as standard. A digital clock is an option. Both clocks are interchangeable and a remote fixing kit is available on request. | |
