Tim,
I have had no experience with
condenser boilers
personally so I can only tell you what I’ve been told by people in
the
trade and both plumbers/heating engineers, that do a lot of installs, I
know
don’t seem to rate them for whatever
reason.
A combi
*should* deliver hot water at mains
pressure
anyway all you need to do is get a decent balanced shower valve, the one
downside is that is some bugger turns on a tap at the other end of the
house it
invariably affects the temperature, although knowing your circumstance Tim
my
guess is you won’t give a hoot about that
;-)
In my last house I had no header tank
or
hot water tank at all with a Vokera combi installed. The only reason for a cold tank was to
flush the loo in case the mains went at any stage
as
the plumber insisted I leave it in, just in case, turns out he was kind of
right on that score. The point being you can do away with all the headers
etc.
using a combi-boiler therefore, logically, every
water supply in the house is working on mains
pressure.
I had a Mira balanced valve shower
that
had mains pressure it and was fed by the combi, it was superb, highly
recommended.

Tony,
Tony,
Who
told
you that? I’ve had three Vokera combi’s and had no trouble at
all
with them, trouble is when they do go it’s often the module that
fries so
can be expensive. However, having said that, condensers are a new way of
doing
things and, according to my heating engineer neighbour, *very* prone to
breakdowns at the moment as the technology is reasonably new, not proven
and in
his opinion not worth the extra cash over a decent
combi.
They can’t be that prone to
breakdowns as I’ve had a condenser for 6 years without one breakdown
at
all.
Plus
you
can still get a mains pressure shower from a combi no problem, I know, I
miss
it *so*
much!
How?
Tim.
