hi all, first time posting here!
anyway here goes, i recently fitted a 15l unvented water heater feeding 1 sink for a customer in a flat I carcassed intended for a multi point heater (no gas in property) The heater was under the kitchen sink but i had run a hot pipe from under the sink to a whb 12 metres away as i intended to fit an instant multipoint. The customer didnt want to pay for a decent heater and insisted on a small Ariston europrisma and asked me to run the kitchen sink and whb which is a 12m pipe run away both off the small heater. I refused to do that and told him to get another small water heater for whb and i'd use the pipe run i'd intended for the hot as a seperate cold feed for that heater negating the need for an exp vessel. The customer asked why i wouldn't run both off the 1 heater and the only reasons i could give were (aside from it being point of use) waste of power reheating water taken up in pipework and that it was cowboyish. anyway my questions are has anyone got any experience in fitting stored heaters far away from drawoff and did it work ok?
