Which is outright wrong.

As I am putting a combi system in specifically to get rid of the hot water
cylinder, and have worked out that the smallest combi will provide more
liters per min of hot water than the present system, and more importantly
will provide one bath after another, which the present system struggled
with. I will stay with the combi.

Most DIY domestic combi installations will have the same requirements as
myself.
