Why continue with a second rate system when he can have a high

Because:
a) A 'high flow rate' combi still won't fu]ill a bath as fast as a

system
b) It relies on on the mains being able to deliver a high flow rate -
which
may or may not be the case.

Leaflets stuffed in with my last water bill contained a warning
about installing combi's associated with this last point.
Check that the pressure and flowrate available are _well_ over
the combi's minimum, to allow for future pressure reductions.

In the last week or two London Water announced it is raising the pressure
because of water leaks being repaired.

I assume the water companies are getting a stream of complaints
about not enough flowrate to operate combi's properly, as they
are steadily reducing the water pressure to get the leak figures
down and avoid being fined.
