    The two plumbers/heating engineers I know well no longer fit WB. They used to, and I preferred them, but they are really not as good as they were, but remain pricey...

    Just check they are the ones for you.

    Annual service is a must. Full cover? I would say its not necessary, particularly when they are new and under warranty.
  • Thanks DaftyDuck.
  • Even a Vaillant 937/8 will only give you 20l per minute while the storage tank is full and upto temp, once you’ve used that the flow rates drop to 16l at only a 35c rise which mid winter will not be great. You may run 2 showers off these big combi’s but there not designed to do it. If you have more then 1 bathroom and have a combi then it’s a poorly designed system.

    Which boiler do you have which will run 2 showers at the same time as I have not been able to find one?

    I have a Worcester 38 cdi

    I have a good flow rate coming ( well over 20l /min)in the house running two thermostatic controlled showers.

    Both running together and they both still run better than most hotel showers and a world away from Electric .

    It will more often than not be your pipework not your boiler letting the shower experience down. 16.5 ltrs /min is plenty of hot water for two decent showers. but if you can't push it out then the boiler will not produce it.
