Boat calorifier.

May need a new one soon, but so far been unable to find the correct size. Does anyone know of a company who can make a bespoke one to order? Thanks.

Quick do quite a large range, what sort of size are you after, or is there anything special about it that means an off the shelf one won't work for you ?

 

[plumbob]

Thanks. Quick? Mine is horizontal and measure 350 X 1000 approximately. Immersion boss in the end. Just a single coil job, with the standard foam lagging is all I need. Thanks

That's just an example of what Quick do, to show who they are, range available in loads of distributors, but I'm not saying which would suit your purposes size/capacity wise.

OR, is yours repairable, if it's just the heater element that may be replaceable ?

How many litres is you current one?

Surejust in Sandown IoW do excellent calorifiers but I don't know if they do bespoke sizes.

Norfolk Marine are the cheapest around that I could find when I bought my Surecal one in the earlier part of this year. Hassle free and very quick delivery. Recommended.

From bitter experience, make sure that you get both the aperture size and the length of the coil right (ie not too long).

30 litre horizontal single coil Surecal calorifier

i got one of these.....mustard and the mix valve thing makes the hot water last ages

Do you guys pipe the engine or genny cooling water through these, or just use the electric heater ?

 

[Mr Googler]

Engine coolant plumbed in for me. Best of both worlds.

if you only want an element one it’ll be loads cheaper!

I have a Surejust twin coil calorifier plus mains immersion heater, so the options are engine heating, Webasto heater or mains if alongside.

A major difference about the Surejust is that it uses copper for the heating coils whereas some use stainless steel, which is poor at heat transference. I get hot water at the tap within a few minutes' running the engine.

Thanks for the information. In fact I have found a supplier of Telford cylinders in the correct size.
