Gledhill Thermal Storage
Pulsacoil Electric Boiler
Pulsacoil II
There are many original Pulsacoil Thermal Store Units still in use throughout the UK. These units are often referred to as "punchbags" due to the brown lagging that covers the tank resembling a boxer's punchbag. These particular appliances are now getting on for 20 years old and in many cases they may be nearing the end of their expected lifespan. If you have an original Pulsacoil and it is not producing any or only very little hot water then it could be likely that there is a fault with the emersions heaters. If the temperature fluctuates or the pressure is reduced then it is could be that the blending valve and heat exchangers are clogged with limescale. If the Pulsacoil is older than 15 years then the copper tank itself or the internal tubing may be corroded and leaking.
If your Pulsacoil is not supplying enough hot water then the first action would be to book a full service, this would include inspection of immersion elements, remooval and inspection of blending valves, descale / flush of heat exchanger.
If the unit is leaking then in many cases it would be time to consider replacing the Pulsacoil with a more efficient hot water system.
