I don't follow you, sweetheart. We had low pressure at all the hot taps, good
pressure on the cold. After adjustment of the diaphragm thingie on the hw
cylinder inlet, we now have good pressure on all hot taps. OK darling?

Exactly sweetie, I *don't* have a hot water cylinder, hot
water is supplied on demand by being heated as the cold
water flows through the boiler. If it flows flowly enough to
be heated to a useful temparture, it's flowing too slowly
for a decent shower. If it's flowing fast enough for a decent
shower, it's flowing through the boiler too fast for it to be
heated up, escpecially now that the cold supply arrives
at 8 degrees since the snow stared. This is why I hate
non-stored hot water systems.

That's the first time I've heard of a 'combi' system. Sometimes posting to
uk.d-i-y from NZ does make a difference.
