Hi
I have recently installed an invented Ariston tank and Valiant system boiler, and have been running for 9 months. I'm now not sure I made the right decision and instead I should have installed two combi boilers - one for each floor of the house.
I find heating the tank tricky as I have now put the boiler on a timer to heat up the tank at three times thought the 24 hours as I it became apparent its a waste to keep the boiler running 24 hours a day. But then I can be left without hot water at weekends if we have guests over and extra water is used than the 300 litres, and I forget to extend the boiler timer. With a combi, the water would literally be on-tap.
And I had a new 25mm supply pipe installed so supply should not be a problem. Pressure was tested by water company, and far exceeded the minimum.
What have others done? Or have I just missed the point of an invented tank?
Thanks..
