Hi,
I have an issue with my hot water from a hot water tank. I plan on ripping this out and having a combi fitted in it's place. The tank leaks.. and I want central heating.
The query I have is that hot water to my kitchen tap takes at least 40 secs to come through. I have measured the rough distance ( i can remember the old pipe runs from when my boards were up) and it works out at about 36 feet of pipe to my kitchen tap. Will a combi speed this time up or will I have to put the boiler somewhere closer such as in the kitchen and re-plumb? My kitchen and bathroom are above each other. It seems an incredible waste of water at present just to get some hot water. Any advice?
Andy
