plumbing challenge - 100pts to anyone who can solve this one
Anonymous user 14/03/2024 - 2.34 PM
Heres the deal. I'm Mr Lamen and struggling to contend with my plumber's technological spiel. I Got a Baxi Combi 33, 4 bedroomed house, 2 showers, about 14 radiators. No real issues with it apart from slight loss of pressure when both showers are on - but no big deal. We are about to break thru in to our extension which is at the far side of the house (& far side of gas mains box). The extension is a masterbedroom with ensuite (another shower!). We are also installing a gas fire and have a part gas cooker. All in all we are exceeding the 70KW domestic rule (this make sense anyone?) and theoretically drawing 74KW. Now, my prime specification is to extend the radiator system in the new bedroom as the house is so well insulated we dont seem to struggle in getting warm - but how to deal with the shower - Vented, un-vented, water storage immersion I'm lost.. I am sure the Baxi wont take another shower cos of pressure loss. We also intend eventually installing a woodburner at grd floor level under the ensuite more or less and wonder if i go for a back boiler if there is way of making use of that heat for something. maybe I heat the new bedroom in that way sometimes and other times off the main boiler?? Anyway any advice most welcome thanks JB
