We had our old boiler exchanged for a combi and its great having hot water whenever you want it and our gas bills have reduced. However the problem I find is that if I just want to wash my hands or rinse a cup out I have to run the water for about 30 seconds to a minute before warm water comes through. I'm not sure how our washing machine copes. Is it just our boiler? None of the pipe runs are particularly long. Once the hot water is through its great.
Anyway..
We are about to move to a house where they have a normal boiler that we would like to replace so that we can remove the header tank in order to enable us to convert the loft more easily, free up space in a cupboard where the hot water storage tank is and so we can have instant hot water again. However it would be nice to have 'instant' hot water rather than having to run so much cold water away. Is there a way to do this? Is it possible to fit a small hot water storage tank that would suffice for hand washing/ rinsing cups etc that is topped up by the combi?
