    Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30i

    So I just did a quick heat loss calc on the house and it looks like we need 13kw for the heating. When I use the boiler size calculators on WB, Valliant and others, they are recommend between 30kw and 36kw. What am I missing that means we need over double the output of the heating according...

    Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30i

    Hi, Is the WB Greenstar 30i big enough for a 4 bed house with two bathrooms? Got one heating engineer telling me it is and one saying it’s not. Thanks

    Levelling floor where hearth stone removed

    Hi, We have removed an old log burner from our living room and the hearthstone and there is no flooring underneath. The rest of the room is a kardean vinyl and floor is concrete and we want to put carpet down. What’s the best way to level the floor before we put the carpet down? Thanks a lot.

    Increasing flow rate from shower

    Thanks for this... As we are on a budget. Would it make sense to try changing the pipework to 22mm and changing the shower to a newer Thermostatic mixer shower, was thinking Mira, to try and get the flow rate up to the same as the other bathroom. If that doesn’t work look at getting a pump and...

    Increasing flow rate from shower

    Ok thanks. Will we be ok for a pumped power shower if our hw cylinder is only about 100l? And do any power showers look decent? They all look like electric showers.

    Can you get a mixer shower with a built in pump? Trying to avoid an electric shower if possible.

    Increasing flow rate from shower

    Just ran the cold and the good shower is at 6l per min and the bad shower is at 3l per min. Ran the hot again and that was about 8l per min and 4. The kids had a bath about an hour ago, would that affect it? Yep. Can hear the tank refilling when using the cold. Thanks

    Increasing flow rate from shower

    Sorry it’s taken a while to reply. Pipes are 22mm out of the cylinder then it splits and changes to 15mm, so runs at 15mm for about 2/3m. It’s at 15mm for less than a metre to the better shower. Looks like the cold is fed from the tank. It about 850x500x600. The tank feeds the cold supply to...

    Increasing flow rate from shower

    Thanks for that. Just read that thread. What would cause the difference between the two showers we have, one 10l per min and one being 5l? Is it the horizontal distance (difference about 2m) or could it be the shower itself? Both are Gainsborough mixers but the 5l one looks quite a bit older...

    Increasing flow rate from shower

    About 2m. It has to go about 3-4m horizontally if that makes a difference.

    Increasing flow rate from shower

    Hi, we are in the process of refurbing our bathroom and ensuite. We get ok flow rate in our bathroom of 10l per min but only get 5l per min in our ensuite. System is a gravity fed system. We can’t increase the flow rate too much as we have a tank that is only about 100l. Anyone know how to...
