Finding the right cylinder for your home doesn’t need to be complicated, but there are a few things to consider. Our Homeowner guide will help you ask the right questions, select the best product and get the most of your energy savings.
If you’re unsure, we recommend you speak to one of our Mixergy Experts, who will be able to source the right cylinder for you
Any of our Mixergy X, Solar X and iHP X may be suitable for your property, regardless of whether you’re building from scratch, or retrofitting your home.
The iHP X uses an air-to-air inbuilt heat pump, which requires an outside facing wall. While the Mixergy X and Solar X can be installed anywhere in the home.
A vented cylinder takes its cold water feed from a separate header tank (usually located in the loft). An unvented cylinder uses mains cold water supply.
Mixergy X and Solar X cylinders are available in both vented and unvented. iHP X is only available as unvented. If you require a vented cylinder or want to upgrade to an unvented system, we recommend speaking to one of our Mixergy Experts.
Both our Mixergy X and Solar X can connect with a gas or oil boiler. If you wish to include this in your set up, then you’ll need an Indirect cylinder.
If your home is already gas-free, you’ll require a Direct cylinder. iHP X has it’s own power source through the integrated heat pump.
The Mixergy X and Solar X cylinders are available in Standard or Slimline. iHP X is only available in Standard.
The Standard cylinders have a standard diameter of around 582mm. Slimline has smaller footprint to height ratio, with a diameter of around 485mm. This might be important where you need to get the cylinder through a narrow loft hatch or stairway, or fit in a tight airing cupboard.
It is important to install the right size of cylinder to meet the needs of your household. Mixergy cylinders are proven to deliver up to 30% more usable hot water when compared to a conventional cylinder*. This means you can actually install a smaller cylinder with no loss of performance.
You should also think about how your hot water needs might change in the future. Think about whether you are planning to grow the size of the family, or perhaps add additional bathrooms in the years ahead.

Our Solar X comes with our embedded Solar PV Diverter and is the ideal solution to store the excess energy you normally send back to the grid, saving it for your hot water.
If you already have a third party diverter (such as a MyEnergi MyEddi or Solar iBoost), then the Mixergy X can add the PV Switch Kit.
Our Mixergy X and Solar X are heat pump ready. So whether you want to connect now or later to an outboard heat pump, your same Mixergy cylinder will be there. Simply add our Heat Pump Kit to your order.
The iHP X does not require our Heat Pump Kit.
The iHP X is our most efficient hot water solution for the home. While it can be placed anywhere in the home, it requires an outside facing wall to accommodate air-to-air ducting.
