Chromagen Solar Hot Water Cylinders
 |
Chromagen have a vast selection of solar cylinders. Chromagen cylinders are 3mm thick steel with a heavy glass lining and are one of the very few glass lined cylinders that are rated to 99ºC. This means they are wet-back rated and are a great option for an installation that requires storing water to a higher temperature than normal.
Chromagen cylinders are also designed as an out door cylinder, although an inclosure is recommended. Chromagen cylinder are generally shorter and wider in diameter than your more standard cylinders and this needs to be considered when retro-fitting or building a new home.
