Condensing Boiler Questions

QUESTION:

I'm sure, but they don't suggest that an 80 litre cylinder will cope with all requirements as you have done.
They do when its a one bathroom house.

ANSWER:

I'm still doubtful that a 80 litre cylinder will be enough for a bath, anyway. The rapid recovery is somewhat irrelevent if you can refill the bath in a timescale not much longer than it takes the boiler to fire up and heat up its primary circuit, as my system does. Obviously, if you limit the flow rate to the bath taps it is less of an issue, but might still be annoying, particularly if you like to top off with really hot water after getting in.
I also like to keep a relatively low temperature in the cylinder to reduce losses and optimise the return temp for the condensing boiler.
