OK,
I have a very old concorde WRS boiler which has an F&E tank in the loft. We want to replace it with a more modern efficient unit. The other problem we have is that there are 5 of us (Me, wife and 3 kids) and with our current setup we run out of hot water after just 2 showers.
I got a plumber round yesterday to quote on a new boiler and he came up with some problems. Can any of you solve them???
1). I put a pumped shower in last year which we love however we have quite low mains water pressure. He says that a combi will work on it but that the pump will need to be removed and therefore the shower will be very week. Is there anyway of rectifying this?
2). The gas pipe which feeds out current boiler is 15mm. He says that all boilers are now 22mm and this would require a new 22mm pipe run from the front of the house to the back which is going to be nearly impossible! Is this true, does anyone know of any new boilers which run on 15mm gas pipe?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Chris
