OK sorry I have puled this from earlier. Ok im confused by this message a bit. Were talking in the beginning about a system boiler, and then you mention a combi? were did we jump to that? I dont really want a combi, but do like the sound of the closed system. Please could you explain a...

Well after spending the night resting on all my new found information, I went down to my local 'Covers' to chat with the guy in the bathroom department. He suggested for ease and cost/ short term solution that I put in a pump. I still cant help feeling that for an extra £500 its worth...

Oh rats.with Typical I suppose. It seems nothing to do DIY is designed to work in your favour. So the alternative is to either put in a separate shower, or find a plumbing solution to the tap issue? or change the system idea to something like a mega flo, or back to a pump?

All I have to do no, is see whether I get enough pressure from the mains. Plus I get the right combi. I see you recommended one. I will look it up.

Ok its making sense. So you can get the combi to switch modes. Limiting the flow does make sense yes, and you would only do it to the taps effected by the combi directly, ok makes sense. OK so I think I get it now. I can also keep an immersion heater on the boiler in case the boiler...

Ok im getting there. My shower is on a mixer from the taps in the bath. does that complicate or simplify this process. Im guessing simplify? Why do you want flow restrictors? So your saying the combi will run all the taps etc or just the bath and sink? This whole thing is obviously...

I wil explain what i think your saying. I get a combi boiler to power the shower and a basin. I also get it to heat water in my cylinder. How does it split between the two? Will it heat water in the cylinder by a feed from the loft tank? Then i use the water from the loft tank (hot...

Thanks for your reply Dan. I wish I knew what it was you were suggesting??? Im obviously too green at this stuff. Ive been researching for 6 hours but im really getting stuck on boilers. Ive just about worked out how the piping in my house is supposed to work. Your gonna laugh but it...

High peter, looked into the unit. Seems like a good company. So what your saying is, I should get a combi. If i get a combi, then I dont need the tanks, cylinders, etc. I can just have the boiler. That sounds good but if it goes down, then there is no hot water. Also with a combi, if you...

High Thanks for your reply. I would be interested in a combi that does the best of both worlds. However combi boilers are trouble. Im going to look into the boiler.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Im a little confused about were the combi bit comes in? I didnt think system boilers were combi boilers? So Im not really sure what your saying. Are you suggesting a system boiler or a combi boiler or can they be the same thing? When you say the system...

High there :-) I have moved in to a 3 bed house. Standard Wimpy crap from the mid 90's. Hollow dry walls, and an old fashioned system. * 8 Radiators * Two Tanks ( I think) pitch on the roof is so low I dont go up very often. * Cylinder in cupboard * Potterton Prima F (conventional)...
