1.1 

Overview 

The Polywarm-Maxi range of Indirect hot water cylinders and storage tanks are carbon 
steel construction with a patented WRAS approved internal coating for UK commercial 
(dhw) systems. The calorifier range consists of single and twin coil variants offering 
enhanced dhw performance by linking the coils in series when using a single heat 
source or connected separately when using two heat sources. 
There are four models of calorifiers with storage capacities from 500 - 1500 litres. 
There are seven models of storage tanks with capacities from 500 - 3000 litres. 

Controls

 - external (non Elco supply) devices may be used to control the operation of 

the system or alternatively the Elco 

Easy Control

 panel is designed for simple timed 

control of the domestic hot water throughout the day (3 periods per day) whilst also 
managing the Anti-Legionella function, system re-circulation pump and up to two heat 
sources plus an immersion heater - refer to
