Hi all,
Soon to get a replacement boiler and have been looking at the possibility of a storage combi (Veismann Vitodens 111 etc). Just finding it hard to get info on how they actually work.
I understand how a combi works and how a boiler with storage works. I get that the storage combi combines the two in one box, but I'm failing to read anywhere that says how it actually operates.
As a two person household a combi would work well but I like the idea of being able to have the shower running while the dishes get washed too (without putting the dishes in the shower tray).
I don't like timed hot water storage that we may not use or we have to wait on because we don't know when we want it.
Say the storage combi boiler has been inactive for a couple of days and I open the hot tap what actually happens in the boiler and tank?
Is it heating more water than I need if I'm just washing my hands?
Is there a timer involved at all?
Is there an option to have it run like a straight combi when multi outlet hot water is not needed?
I'm just trying to find out where my gas dollar would actually be spent.
Any clarity on this much appreciated.
