Hello!
I currently have a Potterton 28i Combi Boiler. It has had a problem with the hot water supply, that has been put down to (hopefully) heat exchanger.
The cost of repair is said to be Parts - £90. labour £50.
However, we've never been able to have two showers running at the same time, and always had a problem with the hot water. Apparently this is due to the size of the house (it's very long bungalow, 3 bed, 2 bath, kitchen, utility, two large reception rooms).
So the suggested plan is this.
1. Use the Combi-boiler just to run the central heating.
2. Use a megaflow (or similar) 210l tank to run the water for two bathrooms (inc showers simultaneoeously), kitchen, and utility.
I want a system where if a toilet is flushed someone won;t almost die in the shower! And that two showers can occur without problem.
The total cost, parts of repairing the combi, the cost of the megaflow, installing it and a drain/clean of the whole system
£1,500
is that fair?
is this a good idea?
Any other suggestions?
All mush appreciated.
thanks
