Hi,
We've bought a terraced house that spans 3 floors and it needs everything gutting including new central heating / boiler.
We've had 4 plumbers round but they each seem to recommend different systems so I was hoping someone here could give some independant advice.
In our current house we have a Worcester combi but as soon as someone puts a tap on the flow to the shower cuts down drastically and the water temperature goes colder. This is in a one bathroom house so we are unsure as to whether a combi is suitable in the new house.
The new house will have one main bathroom and two shower rooms so we don't want to risk the flow to one shower being impacted by someone using another shower simultaneously.
The new house has 4.7bar mains pressure and a 13 / 15 litre flow. We would like to be able to run more than one shower simulataneosuly, and have appliances on as well that doesn't impact the flow. The living area spans 3 floors and it is a 5/6 bed house.
What we have had recommended is:
1. A large combi.
2. An unvented tank (another plumber said we've been told our flow isn't adequate)
3. Put a header tank on the second floor that will feed the first two floors and a seperate combi that will feed the shower/basin and heating on the 2nd floor.
Basically what I would like to know is what system would plumbers recommend for a large house where you do not want the flow of water to be impacted by other users.
Hope you can help
Cheers
John
