Pulsacoil Replacement Solutions
There are a large number of Pulsacoil thermal stores installed within apartment properties throughout the UK, some in excess of 25 years old.
The design of the product range has changed over this time, moving from the cylindrical models to a rectangular cased product in 2000. More recently, the product material was switched from copper to stainless, then in 2019, the introduction of the cylindrical product was reintroduced.
This is where McDonald Water Storage, can provide you the perfect replacement thermal store solution, whatever the age or model of Pulsacoil you currently have, providing a like for like replacement.
An older thermal store may become expensive or complicated to repair, whereas a replacement from our range can be a more cost-effective price.
Having a suitable replacement enables you to minimise disruption as well as reduce the installation times and associated costs required by an engineer for amending pipework to suit the new connections. Our flexible manufacturing process has been custom designed to deliver like for like replacement units within a matter of days.
And with our commitment to manufacturing high quality hot water storage solution, you can be assured that the replacement thermal store we provide delivers superior thermal transfer properties and incorporates the right levels of insulation.
Which Model of Pulsacoil Can We Provide Replacements For?
McDonald Water Storage’s unique approach to manufacturing hot water cylinders enables us to manufacture replacements for virtually any make or model of thermal stores.
The Gledhill PulsaCoil II and PulsaCoil III are hot water only thermal stores, which were introduced to the market over 25 years ago.
They are copper cylinders that had the feed and expansion tank located at the top of the cylinder, which were designed to be electrically heated utilising off peak electricity tariffs, but can work on standard electric tariffs.
The domestic hot water is generated through an external plate heat exchanger, which is heated utilising the stored hot water within the cylinder being pumped through to transfer the heat. Mains cold water then passes through this to be instantaneously heated and delivered to the hot water outlets, and controlled utilising an electronic PCB board.
The MULTIflow+ provides a perfect solution for PulsaCoil II and III replacements.
However, with the hot water being generated utilising an internal heating coil, and the hot water temperature being controlled by the manual blending valve, it provides benefits to both homeowners and installers including;
- Same footprint as existing PulsaCoil models
- No plate heat exchanger used, therefore no circulating pump required
- Temperature of the domestic hot water controlled by manual blending valve, with no requirement for additional flow sensors or costly PCB components
- The units only require two electrical supplies providing a simpler installation
.
Ultimately for the homeowner, there are very few serviceable components used on the MULTIflow products, therefore ongoing repairs, maintenance and engineer costs are dramatically reduced.

The PulsaCoil 2000 is a hot water only thermal store model, which was introduced to the market around 2001.
They are copper cylinders that are housed within a rectangular case, with the feed and expansion tank located on the top of the casing, with components incorporated behind a front panel.
They were designed to be electrically heated utilising off peak electricity tariffs, but can work on standard electric tariffs.

The PulsaCoil BP is a hot water only thermal store model, which was launched in 2009.
They are copper cylinders that are housed within a rectangular case, with the feed and expansion tank located on the top of the casing, with components incorporated behind a front panel.
They were designed to be electrically heated utilising off peak electricity tariffs, but can work on standard electric tariffs.
The domestic hot water is generated through an internal copper heat exchanger. As cold water passes through the internal coil, heat is transferred to the water, instantaneously heated and blended to 52 degrees and delivered to taps.
The MULTIflow provides a perfect solution for the PulsaCoil BP replacement.
The hot water is generated in the same way utilising an internal heat exchanger coil and blending valve, and provides benefits to both homeowners and installers including;
- Same footprint as existing PulsaCoil model
- Front panel covers electrical components
- No plate heat exchanger used, therefore no circulating pump required
.

The PulsaCoil ECO Stainless models are hot water only thermal stores, which were introduced to the market around 2015.
They are the first thermal stores that Gledhill manufactured from stainless steel. They are housed within a rectangular case, with the feed and expansion tank located on the top of the casing, with components incorporated behind a front panel.
They were designed to be electrically heated utilising off peak electricity tariffs, but can work on standard electric tariffs.
