george get your own back on ben by asking him about squatters rights or tarmac laying, you'll outsmart him for sure. :wink:
 
The 9 kW electric heater needs a cable. That is no secret. You size the cable to suit. No secret.

Cable sizing is easy to google, cable heatspecs are not. That is why I asked you in my post what the heatspec was, not the cable size.

Once again, you size up to suit. I think you have some idea and there are some pointers in your post. This is encouraging. :)
 
The 12 kW version can cope with two low flow taps - the makers sell it saying that

so why mention a 9 kw in your post and why not mention low flow taps :?:

you sir are either misleading or an ass get it :roll:

The ass is you. It gave a link to a thread which linked to the makers. Read their tech lit. easy. get it? I can't do everything for you. You must try and help yourself.
 
i understand where george is coming from here, its fairly simple if you think about it.


get 4 seperate 3 phase supplies put on to your property and fill the cupboards under your kitchen sink with inline electric heaters, just think of all that extra storage space you'll gain and no expensive to repair combis or exploding unvented cylinders.

just make your new mortgage payable to E.ON
 
One quality, combi and cheap B&Q cheapy for backup. Both using the same gas pipe, as they will not on at the same time.

How can you apply the diversity factor to get away with a gaspipe that is only sufficient to feed one boiler? You can not guarantee that the the user won't turn both boilers on so he can run the shower at the same time as the bath. It is not like a big cooker where it is not possible to use the oven and the grill at the same time.

Or did you use another excuse than diversity to use only half the capacity of the gaspipe of what was needed?
 
Again..The two combis are cheaper to fit.

Again, NO its not. What don't you get? its very simple. I don't know how to explain it to you any clearer as you don't get it. I suspect your at the limits of your knowlege here.

Do you understand what 100% CH & DHW backup means?

yes perfectly. Do you mean like a 9kw water heater replacing a highflow combi? if not get back to me.
:roll:

The problem is George, you do have some knowledge(albeit limited), however you keep contracticting yourself in your desperation to prove everyone wrong. The result is you become the class clown
 
Or did you use another excuse than diversity to use only half the capacity of the gaspipe of what was needed?

na you missed it ben he was gonna use 35 mm coated copper

then when the combi ain't in use it doubles up as a power feed to the electric heater :lol:
 
Much confusion with this man. Here we go again...

Again..The two combis are cheaper to fit.

Again, NO its not.

They only way to get full CH & DHW backup is a thermal store with electric immersions and a boiler and have two boilers and a cylinder. This has one quality combi and one cheap backup combi. Cheaper. I have done it and did the calcs. Get it?

Do you understand what 100% CH & DHW backup means?

yes perfectly. Do you mean like a 9kw water heater replacing a highflow combi? if not get back to me.

This is disappointing as I thought you were progressing. A total relapse. Sad.

<snip drivel>
 
You really showed your ignorance by not even getting the point. Heatspec of a cable refers to qualification of the insulation and sheath, not to the amperage that the core can handle.

To answer that with: "you size it up to suit" is about as clever as the answer: "it must be suitable for 230V"

Lack of focus again. He did not read. This is sad. A throw-over switch for both combis. Only one on at any time, impossible for both to be on. Get it?
