Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
In the kitchen with my wife and she observed that the dog had my daughter’s pyjama shorts in his mouth.
“Where did he get those from?”
“I don’t know, last time I saw them they were upstairs”
“Were they brought down to be washed?”
“I don’t know because….last time I saw them they were upstairs”
Cue a glare.

Women……..
Our eldest daughter is visiting and says she is off to run her son a bath.
She calls me up to the bathroom saying the hot tap in the sink is running cold.
Now having a few recent episodes of my “New” boiler tripping out, thinking FFS.
Get to the bathroom and indeed the hot tap is running cold.
Then I notice she has filled the bath just about to the brim.
Told her she had drained the hot water tank that’s why it’s now running cold, response
“Oh I didn’t know you had a tank”
Unless I am missing something, don’t all domesticated premises have a hot water storage tank?

Nope...combi-boilers don't Our eldest daughter is visiting and says she is off to run her son a bath.

Sorry Vipers, but tanks and cylinders are old fashioned and becoming quite unusual.
I'm a residential surveyor and probably see one for every 30-40 combi boilers. FWIW I also have one but the house is 27 years old and has the original (now dated) hot water system. A year or so we had a house full of guests who drained our cylinder and we had the same conversation as you. Sorry to say but I suspect that you and I are a couple of dinosaurs.

And another nope here! I have a combi boiler, and hate it!
And another....If you live in a large house with several showers, sinks etc - you cannot supply adequate hot water pressure with just a combi boiler.
As soon as someone starts doing the dishes, you will find the hot water pressure drops dramatically to the other taps in the house. You won't get this with a hot water tank - larger new builds still have hot water tanks installed for this purpose.

Every house I have lived in with a tank had a drop in flow when running more than one tap.As soon as someone starts doing the dishes, you will find the hot water pressure drops dramatically to the other taps in the house.

What nonsense. I’ve got a shower room, a bathroom and 5 sets of taps, and my 40kw combi has never had a problem supplying them, with very little discernible drop in pressure.As soon as someone starts doing the dishes, you will find the hot water pressure drops dramatically to the other taps in the house.

combi output pressure is I think often restricted by input cold water pressure. The lower limit for acceptable inbound fresh water pressure according to UU is pretty low so lots of houses just have crap pressure as standard. We are fortunate in our house as we have stonking inbound fresh water flow and we also use a pressurised tank system instead of combi boiler.

What about for heat pump systems?ASHP, hot water stored in a copper tank, all pressure fed off the mains. Run the hot water or a cold tap, there is no discernable drop at any other tap either hot or cold.
You lot with combis - dinosaurs.

Going even further O/T...We're going to be swapping out our system in the next few months...any advice on ASHP? Costs / install headaches / etc?
We may have an issue in that our south-facing wall is 'outside the house' next to a pathway, so I'm not sure if we can (or should) put the heat-exchangers where they can be accessed by Joe Public...so we're probably going to end up sticking with gas. Which is fine now but may be a headache in future...
