New Combi boiler and upstairs shower

[Sid Snot]

Hi Sid nice to see you lowering the tone and other things on the thread 😂

You point the finger at @raefil for going down this road 😂

Cracking pic, that

Sorry about the first attempt, it was way too big (the picture I mean).

Right, a good boiler but you need to ask the supplier if the company have solved a problem that occurs with Worcester Bosch, namely a leak from one of the manifolds underneath about every year. They might have sorted the problem but you need to know. If not, choose another. Vaillant seem to good but don't take my advice, you must decide for yourselves.

The Baxi 600 was also reccomended, considerably cheaper too

Tell me about it - my broadband family filter went into overdrive

 

[northender0602]

Yeah, although these days she's prone to a lot of overheating.

And leaks too probably.

Baxi for Raefil

And leaks too probably.

I took @Realistic advice and checked for a manifold leak underneath. But only found cobwebs.

 

[raefil]

Im not too sure how seriously people are taking this

Sort of proves that nobody had been underneath before yourself.

Yes, they're pretty good, so I've heard. You really need to get this sorted out , raefil before the plumber comes (contact him before) because he won't want you to hold him up, naturally, when he arrives. But you don't want a boiler that's going to leak in a year which will be next Christmas day at two 'o' clock in the afternoon with your dinner on the table and water pissing out of the bottom of it.

You need to know the flow rate from the boiler basically. If it worked fine from a hot water tank then that’s a positive sign(unless there was a pump somewhere along the way)

If the boiler can do maybe 12/14L a minute then unless everyone else turns the taps on you should be fine

A turkey fountain?

Is the water pissing out of the boiler or the dinner?

We had a bit of a leak l just found a faulty knob.

Depends who he buys the frozen turkey off.

It's probably just an age thing. Have you given it a service this year?

That's what WinkyTinky thinks I am.

I've given it a tap with a hammer

Is that a euphemism for what I think you actually mean?
