    Is BIGGER any better? :)

    . . Hot water storage, is it better to store LOADS of hot water in a well insulated tank and keep the temperature topped up, or produce the hot water on demand, as and when required? If the latter then I guess it means you could do away with a storage tank all together and use one of those...

    . . Ok, I think I have an issue with a new basin taps that were recently installed. The tap has a really low flow rate on the hot but the cold flow rate is ok. The other point is that the tap is a mixer tap and when put half and half it appears to mix ok but switching back to HOT the...
