Yes, as long as you don't want hot water.

Yes, as long as you don't want hot water.

or heating, one or the other!

 

[PlumbBobBob]

i'd keep the heating, you can always boil a kettle for hot water.

AS the 24i is a combination boiler then it would seem that someone
that knew what they were doing could disconnect the cylinder and
rearrange the pipework and controls to revert to combi only.

However. For what reason was the cylinder installed in the first place?

I would suspect that the mains pressure and flow were not up to the job
for the hot water.

So yes, the cylinder can be disconnected but check out if the hot water
would be worse off.

Ah but dosent say if 24i junior or 24i system :grin:

 

[heliotrope]

You are correct.

I was going on the assumption that the OP suspected or knew that
a combi was installed. (I was thinking of the RSF rather than the junior)

 

[erpkid]

I am guessing it is a 24 Ri rather than a 24i Junior combi or maybe a 24i system boiler. Only the combi option would have a potentially redundant cylinder ?

If the boiler is the correct boiler one that allow me to remove the cylnder,
Could the water pressure issue ( if that is the problem) be cured by installing a pump
on the cold water feed for the D H on the boiler.

get someone in to inspect your system and quote for the work and then repeat this twice more and you should have a consensus of opinion to work with and a price for the work involved along with some warranty on the work done

I wouldn't (fit a pump). Check your incoming main pressure, it's easy enough to do. If you can't do that yourself you really do need a pro in!

So are you saying if the water pressure is low, Dont installe a pump and stick with the hot water cylinder in the attic

Why do you want to remove the cylinder?
