Even though

the upstairs hot water feed is plumbed in 22mm the hot supply to
the bath and sink is woefully slow flowing, this is not helped by
the use of modern (no washer) taps which seem to slow the flow
even more.

This is an increasing problem, bearing in mind that the majority of
the taps now for sale in the UK are made in countries that do not
have antiquated gravity-fed water systems and hence are designed to
operate with a minumum mains pressure.

The hot water flow from our modern kitchen tap was pitiful (even
though the header tank was two floors up in the loft). When we
switched to a combi system the flow improved dramatically and is now
fine.

Combi boilers are just for cheapness. They have no other advantage.

I don't accept that at all. First of all, when you are not using hot water,
the boiler is concentrating entirely on heating the radiators. The boiler
only heats water that you actually need - so if you don't need much hot
water on a particular day, you aren't wasting money heating up gallons of
water that you will never use.


Our traditional system if properly designed is far superior.

IYO! I have absolutely no regrets about switching to a combi system.
