Replacement for Apollo Boiler 15/30b

[vulcancontinental]

WHICH do not test boilers anymore unless they've changed since I wrote to them 4 or five years ago.

They send out a questionnaire to I believe 10,000 people to ask their experiences of different products. There has to be at least 50 replies regarding a single product to warrant inclusion in the results if I recall, maybe 55 (boilers that is).

Question or suggest failings or shortfalls in their methodology and receive a nice letter back informing you they will not write to you anymore.

So far all anyone can produce is hearsay and urban myths. Where is the EVIDENCE?

I am not, and never have been, a subscriber to Which?

That's just what I was thinking!

That boiler is almost as efficient as any other modern boiler apart from not having the 4-12% extra efficiency which a condensing boiler can achieve in some settings and having a permanent pilot light.

So no more efficient than a standard SE boiler then??..take into account the tubular waterways which are prone to lime scale and we have a boiler that is not very efficient...

If it makes you happy. But the only people to respond to a which survey are the ones who pay a subscription. And they'll only buy products they're advised to. So a rather incestuous relationship.

Anyway, where's your homework from the other thread?

???

But the only people to respond to a which survey are the ones who pay a subscription.

The allegation was that manufacturers paid to have their products reviewed; nothing to do with member surveys.

And they'll only buy products they're advised to.

A very sweeping statement. Do you have any evidence to back it up?

Anyway, where's your homework from the other thread?

Which thread was that?

 

[rules&rulers]

For the properties i do up to sell, WB is the only choice, thank you Which.

Which thread was that?

The one where you vanished after trying to be clever. Leaving poor Roger to look silly on his own.

Was that the thread I was involved in??..there has been a few..

Yep. I believe a few "allegations" were made

...spill the beans then Dan...

He insinuated, I believe, that we couldn't work something out with the data at hand.

If no one can tell me which topic it is, I'm not going to bother looking for it.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Pathetic.

@Steelmasons does this jog your memory....?

A load of cock and bull.
The same flow rate can't deliver double the energy.

Doubling the temperature drop will have a relatively small effect on the heating surface required but will reduce the flow rate by half.

This one particularly amused me.
