The simplest way to deliver mains pressure hot water
With as little as two pipe connections – cold in and hot out – the PANDORA offers full mains pressure performance without the hassle.
Quick to install
Patented discharge-free design means our thermal stores can be installed in a fraction of the time of unvented cylinders. They can also be fitted into awkward or tight spaces not suited to conventional systems.
Safer systems with no need for annual servicing
Thermal stores are not pressurised – stored water is at atmospheric pressure with a vent to atmosphere. They are therefore not bound by the safety regulations that apply to pressurised unvented systems.
Fantastic performance
Heat exchangers transfer heat extremely quickly, ideal for mains pressure showers and fast filing baths.
Because heat is always stored in the same water, they do not experience the problems of limescale build-up associated with other types of hot water storage system.
Perfect for both replacement and new-build
Our PANDORA was designed for performance and ease of installation by designing out the need to top up water storage, and removing the requirement for a safety discharge pipe and the complicated G3 regulations governing them.
The PANDORA has been used extensively within new build for provision of hot water using either electric elements, local boilers, or district heating. This is down to the speed they can be reliably installed with minimal training.

Exceptional reliability and performance provided by better technology
A thermal store is a cylinder used to store thermal energy, typically filled with primary central heating water. Increasingly popular in domestic settings, thermal stores operate by drawing mains pressure cold water through a high efficiency heat exchanger to supply heating and high-pressure hot water.
- Fresh mains water supplied to both hot and cold taps
- Instant heat and mains pressure hot water
- Low running costs
- Fit-and-forget reliability
- No need for annual servicing
- No risk of Legionella
