I'm seeking some advice on choice of electric, undersink boiler.
I only have a need for hot water, Maybe 4 washing up bowls a day, 8
washhand basins full per day ( unless the water from the boiler is
drinkable and then 8 kettles full per day too).
Can anyone recommend a small undersink boiler that will be suitable
for this?
Also, would the smaller type of electric boilers have a plug-in rather
than a hard wired option?



Mike

How much water do you need for a washing up bowl? 5 litres, 10 litres?

A 3kw instantaneous water heater only delivers around 1 litre of hand
hot water per minute. So, it will take you 5-10 minutes to fill the
washing up bowl. Are you okay with that?

That's for water coming in at 5C, and washing up water at 50C.


If that be so, an irksome non-solution.
