storage-type water heater Explanation: Alternative: Storage-type building heater. (This Alternative is particularly applicable if, e.g. according to the context, the fluid being heated is not described as "water". (Many Google hits, namely 29000.) It is understood that the water is not water for consumption but water for building-heating. It is 75% likely that a storage-type heater is not properly called a "boiler". It is understood that the water is not pure but may contain additives. |

System boiler or Conventional boiler Explanation: System boiler or conventional boiler are the standard UK terms for boilers that store heated water in a cylinder. Combi boilers do not store water, they heat the water on demand. https://www.britishgas.co.uk/home-services/boilers-and-heating/guides/types-of-boilers.html |
