Pipework is a million times better than our plumber did.
That's what I was most impressed with. Nothing was listed out so I don't feel like I paid for something additional I don't need. I assume it's just installed as standard. And the quality of the pipework makes me less worried about it leaking. Also, he's been good at coming out to sort other niggles (not of his making) so far.
Although, there is a drip/trickle through the tundish and out the overflow pipe when the HW is on but from a Google, that is likely to be a dodgy valve (two potential culprits, one more likely than the other as it is happening straight away rather than to do with any over heating) rather than an installation problem. He's coming out next week to sort anyway.

It's often a warranty requirement of the cylinders I think - how on earth it got accepted as such by the manufacturers is beyond me - if they really don't want hard water going through the cylinder they should be mandating the installation of high flow water softeners, but they're bulky and have running costs people pretty much won't accept.
Given that the magnetic devices do naff all and peoples' cylinders don't seem to be getting clagged up with limescale I suspect it's not needed at all, but it's not like you get an inspection window to take a look at what's going on inside.
Anyway, unvented is amazing and I'm glad we have it too.

That silver sausage shaped thing near the top is a magic woo which claims to reduce limescale but it's just bullshit and at best is just another compression joint to weep. At worst it's reducing your pressure/flow slightly.
Pipework is a million times better than our plumber did. Nice job
