Mrs Tara Plumbi

I am naked and a little damp right now (no Croppie, no photos).
After doing some naked research.

I just had a shower, well, I had two showers in the interest of research never before conducted in my home.
Despite 5 of us living here and sometimes my dad comes to stay - there has never been a need to have both showers going at the same time.

So I thought I'd try it.
Dowstairs shower on right temperature all good, upstairs turn on next shower all good in their too, turn on bathroom hot tap - upstairs shower flow & temperature decline (I don't investigate downstairs) I turn off tap, go upstairs shower still on, downstairs shower still good.
I turn off downstairs shower.
I go upstairs and run soap all over my naked body....
The End

It is proved 1 combi boiler CAN run 2 showers - I always though this to be true anyway cos I read it on the WB website.
Yes, given certain excellent conditions including the skills of a top class (and rather sexy) plumber (my husband, by the way).

Duo tec 40kw will run two showers. 6" rain heads fine but if your mains is pap then it won't. Think that's where a lot of this comes from. An unvented with a low pressure poor supply will perform same as a 24kw ferolli over the space of 1 hour. But a vented will out perform the. Both in first 15 / 20 mins. All about right boiler right job.
 
I wouldn't believe anything from wb. Got a phone charger off rep, even that was nasty plastic and fell apart after a few weeks.
 
This must be the only forum on the internet where a female member can post about being wet and naked, and all the male members can think of is to ask is what model her boiler is!

That really is a lousy chat up line.
 
I done this test last week. I didn't get naked though just turned the showers on while standing out the way, no naked soap rubbing.

to much naked talk, the forum is full of perv's as it is.

Typical woman, doesnt mention shaving off all excess hair and moulting reams fm the head all going down towards the plughole and blocking the waste, no attempt to clear way the mass of fur, then leaving all the towels and mats in a pile on the bathroom floor!!
 
Hi Mrs Plumb

It is a water volume issue with pressure mixed in (like the pun) No doubt in certain areas
and in other areas at certain times of year or even daytime - high power combis will deliver
what the manufacturer states - just like Tesco discounts are fudged. & maybe you live
in just such an area.

The reality is low pressure and poor volume which will affect a combi boiler performance
are the normal.

It is also very 'Heath Robinson' to apply free energy solutions to a combi as it does not have a decent sized thermal store - triple coil cylinders will be the normal installation soon.

I'm still wondering how it looked as TP ran up and down the stairs, purely a engileering thought 🙂
