I'm sorry but that is utter nonsense in relation to modern combis.


Alas in this area TNP is no different from Dribble - both true
believers, and neither is going to let inconvenient facts get in the way
of their dogma.


I'd like to hear of a combi which can fill a bath as quickly as two 3/4"
taps, one of which is supplying water at 60C, and the other cold. And feed
another hot tap or two in the house at the same time.

The thing with a storage system is you can design it to do near enough
what you want - assuming you can site the header tank reasonably. Any
instant system has practical limits.
