Hi people
Everyone seems to have their own opinion on which boilers are best but I'd like to know if there's one universally admired by most?
I have a 3 bedroom property with 13 radiators and I want to run 2 thermostatic showers with the best flow possible.
I was thinking probably 34kw?
Any advice appreciated

What's your incoming pressure and flow rate? You can't get out more than you're putting in, so you need that info first.

If you're trying to run two showers simultaneously, you ideally need a hot water cylinder, but as above that only helps if your mains is up to it.

Look at Intergas for a great boiler brand

The boiler will need decent and constant mains water pressure & flow,then there are a few other installation points to consider :idea:

Ask your installer what needs to be done to run 2 showers simultaneously with good performance,it can be done :mrgreen:
 
Sorry I didn't mean simultaneously my bad.
If you mean the flow rate of the cold water then yes that's excellent seems very powerful?
Id like as strong a shower as possible from 1 shower and quick to the tap hot water if that makes sense.....
I assume its the 'DHW litres per minute' of the boiler stats I need to be looking at? Is 13 litres per minute enough that's the Intergas 36 spec?

It's enough for most people, yes. Not the absolute most powerful combi on the market but will certainly give you a decent shower. If you want the absolute most powerful shower possible off a combi boiler, you need the Vaillant Green iQ 843, which will give you 18l/min, but it's twice the price
