Recommended Gas Boiler - Update

[Topref]

Well, further to the thread I started on the 23rd, system's been upgraded by a Worcester Bosch Combi 30 Si running 11 radiators, 9 of which have been fitted with TRV's. Rads are piping hot when the TRV's are set at maximum but obviously they're now all being adjusted down to a comfortable level. It's going to take a bit of time but we are happy with it. The bath doesn't take that much longer to fill than before but we have to remember to fill with hot water first then once it's at a level close to where we want it, we top up with cold.

After much debate at home, and comments from this NG, we have decided to continue with the fitting of the Mira Sport shower tomorrow. It gives us that extra flexibilty if something happens to the gas supply at any time.

================================== Have you considered adding some kind of mixer so that the bath fills in one go at the correct temperature? It would be safer, particularly if you have young children or elderly relations using the bath.

Screwfix sell thermostatic mixers which might be suitable.

In Scotland you would have had to that by law now as it is a major refit.

Bloody useless if you're having a long soak and need to top up the bath with hot water. If you have vulnerable users you could use a bar shower mixer for filling since they have temperature limit stops which you have to deliberately override to get the hottest water. There's a model I've seen on one plumber's merchant around here which comes as a bath/shower mixer and costs about £100: otherwise you're looking at several £00.
