Both vented and unvented variants can also be fitted with an embedded Solar diverter, a PV switch or a heat pump interface to work with whatever heat source you have. See below for more on heat source compatibility

Download our product catalogue and datasheet for detailed technical data on the individual variants, including Mixergy X, Solar X, and iHP X. 

Mixergy iHP

  • Standard diameter (580mm): 120, 150, 180, 210, 250 litres

The iHP can also be fitted with a PV switch, enabling you to boost your system with solar energy.

Heat sources, compatibility and functions

Can I use more than one heat source to heat my water?

With a Mixergy tank, you can heat your water with a range of energy sources: gas or oil boiler, electric, solar PV, solar thermal, or heat pump. Read more about how our tanks work

Use our guide to find the right Mixergy tank for you.

Can I use a combi boiler to heat my water?

Yes. You will need to plumb the Mixergy tank into your central heating loop (i.e. what your radiators connect to). The ‘combi’ part of your boiler would be disconnected, effectively converting the combi boiler into a system boiler.

Do I need a PV diverter to heat my water with solar PV?

Yes. Without a PV diverter, you cannot detect when your PV system is generating surplus power, which is not being used elsewhere in the house – so your Mixergy tank will have no way of detecting when power can be drawn.

PV diverters can modulate the power drawn from the electric immersion element. For example, if only 1kW of excess PV is available, the PV diverter can only draw 1kW of power through immersion to heat the water. Without the PV diverter, the immersion element would draw 3kW of power, causing 2kW to be imported into the household from the grid during heating.

Which PV diverters are Mixergy tanks compatible with?

Mixergy tanks are compatible with all common PV diverters such as solar iBoostimmerSUN, and the myenergi eddi. If your system is specified for use with a PV diverter, we will provide a secondary immersion element for the diverter to plug into.

Does Mixergy offer a dual-coil / solar thermal option?

Yes. More information is available on our Solar Tank page.

Can Mixergy tanks also deliver space heating?

Mixergy tanks are designed for hot water delivery only. Space heating is generally intended to be provided by either boilers (70-80°C water) or heat pumps (30-45°C water) and use closed water loops. The water in these loops (i.e. your radiators or underfloor heating) is NOT potable and cannot be mixed with the hot water supply that the Mixergy tank delivers.

Is there a minimum flow rate required for the Mixergy tank?

There is no minimum flow rate required for the Mixergy tank to operate. However, swapping a conventional cylinder with a Mixergy tank will not improve the home’s hot water flow rate as this is limited by the flow rate supplied to the tank. We recommend 20 litres per minute for unvented installations for an optimal hot water experience.

What is a cleansing cycle?

The cleansing cycle runs every two weeks. This sterilisation process will heat the tank entirely to 100% to prevent legionella growth.
