Hi
Im going to change a boiler - the current system is an ideal E type non
pressurised system, hot water tank and with microbore feed to radiators.
- I would like to install a large combi with a store facility (I suppose
I like the idea of instant water and heating only the water I require) -
doing away with a leaking hot water tank and header tanks.

Questions
1) Can I use a combi with micro bore?
2) If I can not, is there anything special I need? ie a dam big pump?
3) What happened to the copper hot water tank, is this megaflow thingy
the replacement - have you seen the price of those things!!!!!

Thanks for all info

Cameron

1) yes
2) see 1
3) They're alive and well and covered with 50mm of blue PU foam.
Used when and where it's appropriate.

I recommend you read the FAQs and decide for yourself whether a combi is
right for you, which you may have done already.

To combi or not to combi is a question not an article of faith.
