Anonymous user 16/03/2024 - 2.34 PM
I live in an area that has roughly 14lpm at 11am. Would a combi boiler serve family house 4 bed with 2 shower with 3 toilets and dishwasher. Without loosing pressure? Many thanks for any answers.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

the problem you will face is that a combi boiler will give you hat water on demand, howver as soon as one hotwater vessell is opened ie a hot water tap or a family member flushes the toilet you will loose pressure if you have thermostatic mixer showers. I hope this helps.

no it would not serve without losing pressure when 2 or more outlets are opened,it would be even worse at times of high local usage ie 6am to 9am and 4pm to 9pm you could up the pressure with a mains booster,but volume would depend on incoming main size and pressure supplied by water undertaking,minimum .7 bar but most supply at a greater pressure.
