Help me spec this job.

[lame plumber]

They're not happy with the combi. It doesn't work lol.

I don't think they'd be too happy ripping off all their marble bathroom tiles to get an electric shower fitted. We're talking by out a period country property here. Not a 3 bed semi.

you asked for advice, then give stupid repsonses which doesnt help anyone!

They can make an unvented any shape and size you want. Even send without insulation to get through door, then you just need to get it lagged with three layers of 25mm celotex.

There's more than enough room for an off the shelf cylinder. Even 2!

What's stupid about it? :s

By the way, I meant the system in general doesn't work for the house, not that the combi is broken.

It's easy Tom.......but you ain't gonna like it pal

WB 440 OR 550 CDi job done they have 22mm cold and hot connections, but WB did some testing and found with good pressure you can get 50L+ down 15 mm no problem.440= 20L or 550 = 25 L per min

I have done a 550 in a house that has 3 rainforest shower heads, 2 run at once no drop, with 3 it robs the other 2 slightly but they all run together, guy did not want unvented, so it was the only solution, thermal store seems it hold its own with 42KW up it lol........

Plus the Manko's will thank you

Not enough room dude. Got about 500mm width to play with.

You spying on me? You know too much

Lol I see all! Wall out, cupboard out to get 600mm?

 

[TBServices]

The cupboard is about 450. Cupboard is coming out anyway but it still only leaves around 500 free space.

it's an odd setup.

Can easily get a slim cylinder and boiler s-plan in. It's just whether or not it will work with the 15mm supplies once the pressure is reduced.

It will work, range tribune TS cylinder, then go from there, worst that can happen? you have to find cold supplies to showers to retrofit a 3 bar PRV or fit one on incoming like an adjustable honeywell (read quality) not £20 rubbish! Done it on a big job at swillington, after builder messed up first fix!

You will need around 4-5 bar standing and 3 bar dynamic pal!

 

[TBServices]

I'll test the supplies when I go back. I think they'll be well over.

The stoptap is actually in the adjacent bathroom, so with permission I can get a few tiles off, drill through, new stop tap on other side of wall then reconnect after reducer. HOPEFULLY.

Sounds like the solution pal

Haha are you an engineer?

 

[TBServices]

That's questionable.

 

[Ermintrude]

U gonna try rays wb system and cylinder offer?

 

[TBServices]

Well it's tempting. Only problem is having to fit WB - I've already told them they're overpriced **** lol.

If I get a cylinder and use a vogue system, that's £200 cash back and £36 worth of installer connect points.

 

[Ermintrude]

Vogue is a very nice boiler but why not save a few£££ on boiler and fit a logic system and bang in a super cylinder?

 

[TBServices]

A super cylinder?

Will have to be a slimline cylinder, range tribune or rm Stelflow are looking like the best options at present.

They have enough money to warrant a vogue tbh, quieter, more economical, better looking, stainless, etc etc.

 

[TBServices]

Also, separate CH and HW temp controls on the vogue.

 

[lame plumber]

why would a system boiler need separate HW/CH controls on it?

 

[TBServices]

So you can run the ch heating lower/with weather comp for better efficiency, and the HW still runs hot enough to get the best recovery time.

Who's asking stupid questions now? :s
