combi vs conventional

You obviously scored low in this.

Well say in an area with poor infrastructure, that is your weird choice.

It is not.

You obviously have not a clue.

You don't.

Few people require more than 22 l/min. Some devil worshipping people want to use far too much water to rid the earth of its natural resources.

Few, if any. Get the right model sized to your requirements and there will no disadvantages.

This man thinks contaminated water is OK. Duh!

You have to know that. Few people do. With a combi there is little, or no, change of Leigionella.

Perhaps you could do a Google or contact the makers.

Bea, you wouldn't know ramblings from divine wisdom.

You wouldn't if they are facts or not. You clearly just don't know.

Have you now gone off the two 'combi's' now and transferred your allegiance to electricity?

If you have, try looking up immersion heater. It's a new idea that can provide all the hot water a family would normally need - if used with some thought. Cheap, to, as a back up.

But you're *soo* good at this...

I did that yesterday Christian - I think I am giving this poor customer too much choice to think about though..

I can't believe the size of this thread now - at least there are some pertinent posts!!

Er, no. It's Friday evening in the header. Or are headers and X-Traces totally foreign to you as well?

Thank's for pointing that out.

You should appreciate that ANYTHING which prompts a DIMM contribution results in him demonstrating (Once again) that he has no understanding at all of the laws of physics in this universe. I have him solidly in my killfile but others respond in a vain attempt to educate him and the threads extend ad nauseum. He is personally responsible for the contamination of Google/newsgroup such that any search for information results in an almost impossible task of sifting the info you needed from the yah boo sucks dross. Try looking up anything relating to heating/combis/water softeners/planning/insulation etc etc and see what a mess you encounter.

My first recommendation would be the FAQ - the basics are all there.

He does tend to stimulate debate. ;-)

Perhaps I could, however you frequently state "there are high flow rate combi's available", you frequently suggest that people should not "Do It Themselves" but instead seek advice from a "professional", and you often claim to be a professional. Hence I was giving you the opportunity to contribute some useful information to the group. So get to it - give us something more than waffle for once....

Please can you suggest a make and model for such a backup electrical heater. Also where would I plumb it, in series with the output from the combi, or in parallel?

Pleasure. Now you know where you stand.

This man is a prime example of why CORGI is a sham and sanctions cowboys. He worked his way into gas boilers via getting a CORGI badge. You pay for these and sit a short exam. He has been asked what proper quals he has relating to gas, he never ever replied.

It was mentioned by me that condensing boilers can achieve over 100% efficiency. He kept going on that 100% is maximum. Because latent heat is not taken into account in the scale you can theoretically get 109% out of a condensing boiler. He didn't know this. He goes around servicing boilers. Anyone knowledgably in gas boiler would know this. He never. This man is dangerous, and he is allowed to work in people's homes.

He didn't know about the efficiency scale and now he is on about physics. To work on gas you should have done the equiv of an old fashioned 5 year apprenticeship, not a pay for your ticket short course. I despair.

Perhaps you could. You want to know mate, you go and get it. I gave you the pointer, you take it up. There are some lazy bustards around.

Of course, a stock-in item at all merchants. Approx rating required?

3 phase supply to hand?

There are,of course,some losses associated with the primary circuit pipe work and storage losses from the storage cylinder. The former can be reduced by lagging pipework the latter is also true for a thermal storage combi, but having being designed by 'exerts' the laws of physics will doubtless have been designed away.

On a direct race I'd guess that there would be little to choose between the _delivered_ HW efficiency from a well installed storage system powered by a state of the art condensing boiler against a thermal storage combi.

Yeah right. By foundations I confess I probably didn't much more than : a time switch and zone valves having being already installed there is less work to add another zone.

Thanks for the laugh.
