I am considering replacing my old standard boiler for a new high effeciency combi, but am concerned about drop in HW pressure / flow rate that can be experienced whilst showering if a tap is run elsewhere. The overall benefits of a combi are very tempting but the flow rate problem is a concern...

Thanks Chris. Since the only other taps are in the same bathroom as where I will fit the new shower, I figured that it would be unlikely that another tap would be used or the loo flushed, whilst the shower was in use. I guess it would be feasible, but rare.
