There is a disagreement in another thread as to the adequacy of hot water
supplies from combi boilers.

There must be lots of people here with them, so will these people please
answer the question
"Are you satisfied with hot water from a combi boiler, without extra
storage".

For kitchen taps, showers and other low volume uses generally yes subject to
not being on a water meter at the time. Stopping and starting a combi to
rinse during washing up wastes a lot of water. For filling a bath a simple
No. The combi I had was a 100,000 BTU gas model.
Since moving we have a storage system and I prefer it.


I will start, because I look after a combi boiler in a semi commercial
kitchen at the Curry Project. We are very satisfied with the Hot water
there, especially because the hot water is food quality, because it is not
stored. We can fill the urn up with water from the hot tap. I have had
this confirmed by the local Environmental Health Officer.

Hardly relevant unless you like drinks tepid
