The water is hottest at the top of a hot water storage cylinder because of the principle of convection. As water is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler, denser water sinks to the bottom. This creates a stratification effect, where the hottest water accumulates at the top, while cooler water remains at the bottom, allowing for efficient heating and storage.

This is a pump that circulates water in a water storage cylinder. Stratification is the layering that occurs naturally because of temperature. This is where the ozone layer, called the stratosphere gets its name. Anyway back to the pump. This is present to mix the water in the storage vessel so that there are no layers of different temperatures if left to stand for some time.
