Our Buffer Tanks department brings together a growing range of buffer and volumiser tanks for heating and heat pump systems. We stock products from established manufacturers including Advantay and Gledhill, with capacities ranging from compact 12 litre volumiser tanks through to larger 400 litre buffer tanks and combined cylinder and buffer solutions. Whether you are working on a domestic installation, larger heating system or heat pump project, our Buffer Tanks range provides practical options for different system requirements.
The Buffer Tanks department at MacDonald Plumbing Supplies provides a growing selection of buffer tanks, volumiser tanks and combined cylinder and buffer solutions for professional heating and heat pump installations. Our range includes products from established manufacturers such as Advantay and Gledhill, covering a wide variety of capacities and system configurations.
Buffer tanks can form an important part of suitable heating and heat pump system designs by providing additional water volume within the system. Depending on the installation, this can help manage the relationship between heat generation and heat distribution, support system performance and help reduce unnecessary cycling of heating equipment. The correct tank type and capacity will depend on the design and requirements of the individual system.
Our Buffer Tanks range includes compact Advantay Volumiser Buffer Tanks in 12, 18, 35 and 50 litre capacities, along with the Advantay 24 litre Heat Pump Buffer Tank. These smaller options can provide practical solutions where additional system volume is required without the footprint associated with larger tanks.
For larger installations, our Gledhill range includes SL Plus Multi Buffer, Indirect Buffer and Direct Buffer models from 90 litres through to 400 litres. We also stock Gledhill combined cylinder and buffer solutions, including the SL Plus CYL/BUF 200/70L and 300/70L models, with PP variants also available.
The Buffer Tanks range is continually expanding as we add further products and configurations. This gives heating engineers and heat pump installers access to a growing selection of solutions for different system designs and installation requirements.
When selecting a buffer tank, installers should consider the system design, required capacity, connection arrangement and whether a direct, indirect, volumiser or combined cylinder and buffer solution is appropriate. Always check the manufacturer's specifications and installation requirements before selecting and installing a product.
