    Combi vs tank - which should I go for?

    Hi all Currently have an open vent system with a 140L tank. This all needs renewing and wondering whether it was worth changing over to a high flow combi instead or to replace with an unvented cyclinder. Currently only have 1 bathroom, but looking to add an ensuite at some point as well. Thanks

    After flushing, there is only a trickle of water entering the tank.

    After flushing, there is only a trickle of water entering the tank. When I turn the valve off, and then on again, it flows normally again. The upstairs toilet and all other faucets work normally.
