Only your water supply provider can give you the answer to that question. Static pressure will be consistent, the $6M question is what flow rate can they warrant?

You need to take the top white casing off, this is a white model so is not older than around 16 yrs. Unlikely to be condense tray, more likely the sealant hasn't been applied properly around the inner economiser access door on annual servicing, or the wrong sealant has been used. If the tray...

You have neglected to say why you have settled on the above two options. Both boilers will give a maximum of 10 litres a minute HW in the scenario you describe. The twin tanks of the 938 will add nothing, but more breakdowns if my experience of the 937 is anything to go by. If you want to...

Yes, that is what has been said. They are not perfect but considering the design is more of less unchanged since 1981 their lifespan is greater than most other condensing boilers. Mr Kidd ran his first condensor in his house in 1959. He designed belt driven wind farms on his land in the 50s...

Yes, although I've no idea how you would pm me. Haven't worked out Facebook yet, so pms are way out of order. You could always send me an email through our website contact page though.

Do you need to move the ECV (emergency control valve)? If it stays where it is, can it be seen and safely operated from the new proposed meter position?

'Other sources' are wrong. The meter could be turned round if the unit remained accessible for meter reading and maintenance; other than that, if it involves moving the supply inlet, a domestic Gas Safe installer can't help. Or a commercial one for that matter. The supply runs at a higher...

What opposition? If I'd fitted an expensive Kidd boiler for you, you wouldn't want me to be able to repair it then? You would be happy if I told you I'd sold all my parts on eBay the moment I heard of the demise of the company? You really have no idea.

I think you got your details of the son etc from our web site, we are in Kent. Mr Jackson is the accountant, he isn't a boiler technician and will not be able to answer parts enquiries. Bernard is a Google expert, those skills are very much in demand nowadays. Google qualifications allow...

Yes, Mrs Kidd would be delighted to take your call on her personal phone about the prospect of future spares. You really are a knob sometimes, Bernard.

Where are you getting your information from, AJR?

Mr Kidd sadly passed away in February 2016.

Second man is on the money re design. First one is a bathroom fitter or somesuch, and knows nothing about heating design. I too would not go with the products listed. If you go for a Worcester 30CDi system boiler and a Worcester SC210 cylinder a suitably accredited installer will give you...

Compared to the ph of what you are otherwise putting in the bowl, I can't really see a problem from that perspective. Admittedly, it is a real bodge and is not a recognised solution - but I can't see any benefit in moving it 7 years later.

The brand being touted above does not have the installed base nor the time elapsed in UK domestic houses to offer any worthwhile conclusions. We all thought the new Vaillant ecoTec was good in 2004; experience has shown that just about every part was going to fail prematurely. The Keston...

That is a sweeping statement. I love the way you yourself have no qualifications in this regard but can condemn the actions of another person that almost certainly does. Worcester traps can and often do have a small drip when they age, they have to be opened as part of the service and if they...

Bithermic heat exchanger. No plate, no diverter valve. Now where have I heard that before? Surely that makes a boiler uber reliable? Unless it's a Worcester, right? This boiler will be at least 11 yrs old, bear that in mind.

I love the watched pot never boils analogy, Dan. It is so on the money for Evohome. Poetry.

I think you will find that Buderus, part of the Bosch Thermotechnic group,and Remeha are the market leaders in the Netherlands. Not Intergas. http://www.delta-ee.com/delta-ee-blog/entry/ariston-s-acquisition-of-atag-gives-them-a-platform-to-grow-in-the-netherlands Bosch Group hold one of the...

Well I'm questioning it. I'm always interested to hear from a time served 40 yrs man and boy specialist in marketing. First U bends, now marketing. So what is their market share of the UK domestic boiler market?
