Mine needs replacing , has anyone else done the same thing recently ? If so who is the best supplier, I assume the steel ones are not available so should it be Stainless ( although some are a bit suspect I gather ) or Aluminium .

Any advice much appreciated .

was looking at these myself, the finish didnt look tidy enough, also a tad steep at £150 all in eek
I thought the same and would have preferred the Aly model which looks a lot neater build, but that comes in at around £180 !

Has anyone on here had an ACT unit ?

Your best option is to get Shaun to make you a swirl tank and expansion tank combination. Great workmanship and a completely practical solution to lots of little issues. But you will still have to decide where to put the pressure cap!
I think that is the best option thanks for your input .......what about pressure caps ??? wink

What is the purpose of the swirl-pot?
Bit like a header tank on central heating I guess? somewhere to hold a "stock" of coolant, air to rise out and a fill point.

Are there any pictures of a Shaun-pot available for those of us remote from the UK S community?
There are at least four, available to anyone anywhere, on this thread.... scroll up a bit!






The ones shown are a combined unit incorporating the expansion tank ( the white plastic tank ) the Swirl pot is the one on the left and Shaun can supply that on its own.
