hence the wait for hot water.

Then put the combi in a more suitable place, like the loft.

Brilliant. It will then be as far away from the kitchen as possible.

And

the kitchen is likely to need hot water the most often.

Do you ever think before replying?


Ah, but IMM probably lives in a bungalow which he cunningly designed

have

the bathroom next to the Kitchen, another one of those IMM 'one

fits all' answers...

Unknowingly you have hit it.

Educated guess...

Houses designed for passive solar have all the

utility and storage rooms on the north side of the house.


Exactly, and it's also exactly why your suggestion is next to useless
in

98

percent of British homes.


Put the combi in the loft and have a secondary circulation pump to
ensure
instant water at all taps.


Why not put it in Milton Keynes?

Could use all teh waste heat to keep ice off the A5.

I'm visualising one of the "commoner" range of combis (not one of dimms
exceptions to the norm) with a circulation pump from the hot water tap
system pumping back round to the cold water inlet thus maintaining a
continuous flow through its water flow detection circuit. We all know what
the combi will do under those circumstances - switch to hot water duty and
refuse to produce heat to the radiators. Another of dimms not thought
through ideas!

Fishface here hasn't a clue, not a clue!!!! You have a pipe stat on the
secondary circulation pipe, so when up to temperature the secondary
circulation pump is switched off and the combi reverts back to CH mode. All
secondary circulation loops must be lagged to retain the heat in the loop.

And this one goes around working on people's equipment!!! I despair!
