Long story but in short we are completely revamping a dogs dinner of a house - originally built in the 50's as a bungalow and then planning told them it had to be a house. The result is bathroom downstairs (complete cylinder), water storage tanks in a cupboard at the top of the stairs and very little space in the roof void (mansard design).
We have now built an extension to put in a bathroom upstairs and replace the downstairs bathroom with a utility room into which we will put a new boiler -taking out a 20 year old Potterton in the kitchen.
We want to free up the large amount of space currently taken by the cylinder and cold water tanks and so are looking at combi boilers.
Water flow into the house is not particularly good (around 14).
Both the Vaillant and Alpha boilers blurb make claims about dealing with poor flow rates, but .............
I was looking at the storage type boiler as we have an enormous bath to fill and thought this may speed things up a bit, and the two boilers in my mind were the Vaillant 937 or the Alpha CD50. I did think about the Flowsmart from Alpha but wondered on balance whether the extra bells and whistles were worth the asking price.
Any advice/views will be very welcome
