Hot water from combi boiler question
Is the water from the hot taps served by a combi regarded as potable? What makes it so cloudy? The cloudiness disappears when left to stand. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

... Is the water from the hot taps served by a combi regarded as potable? Probably. It's mains water rather than water that's been standing in an uncovered tank in the loft, with glass-wool insulation, dirt, bird droppings (if birds manage to get in through the eaves). I suppose there is the chance that the heat exchanger in the boiler might allow iron to get into the water. What makes it so cloudy? The cloudiness disappears when left to stand. Air that is dissolved in it out-gases once the pressure is released as the water comes out of the tap. |
