You have clearly never seen a CB50 in action they fill 100 litres

no
problem, summer and winter.

It's irrelevant. The machine can't defy physics, no matter how much
you would like it o do so. The figures for filling even a
drop-in-the-bottom 100l bath aren't brilliant, and if it's a proper
sized 150l, the performance is pathetic.
THey should either have designed it with a larger store (although then
it wouldn't go on the wall) or a larger burner.

As I say - a linsey-wolsey product.

It looks like it can give a pretty decent shower by most peoples
standards, or a couple of fairly modest showers at the same time.

And that it can. His system can run out of hot water, and it will using
25
litres/min showers. The CB50 does not run out of hot water being two
stage
flowrate combi.

Of course it will - as soon as the little store runs out. Then it's
down to 11lpm of warm water.

Hot water me boy. You need to know this.

I'd say it represents fairly good value for money, how much did your
boiler and store cost?

His costs the eath. He would have been better off having two combi's fed
from the storage tank by a booster pump. Then all the house would be on
high
pressure hot and cold water.

Complete nonsense.

A better solution for you no doubt.

Why on earth would I install two high flow rate combis?

To give high flowrates.

This would
be the requirement to come close
to the delivery capacity of the
storage system and then an upgrade
to the gas supply would be needed
to run them.

Upgrade to the gas supply? The gas mains can provide 212 cu foot per hour,
which is approx 200,000 btus input.

I did similar in a house with a poor mains flowrate. I instaled a
Gledhilll
Systemate heat bank and fed it off the cold water storage tank. Before
there was an awful large cylkidner with pipes and valves hanging off all
over the show making it look like a boiler room. It also had a noisy
power
shower pump that looked awful taking up space too. Now a nice square box
with all pumps inside out of the way and a booster pump in the loft out
of
the way. clothes can be stored on top on the Systemate too.

Looks like the one on the left he

Are you the one on the right?

No it said left.
