    2 Keston C40's

    We're getting there. my friend has got the heating working without the boilers, tested all the cold, hot tap water to all taps (by heating a cylinder with its heating element) and has put a separate cold feed through the central heating (separate cold from the cylinder cold of course) and...

    2 Keston C40's

    No good news yet. I have to wait till monday to see if the gas goes in, and then we see if the Kestons work after that. But there are now choices, 2 Atags an AMV, I have choices if it doesn't work. One more question I have... Is it possible to 'Modulate' a Keston C40? i can't find anything...

    2 Keston C40's

    you are right, it does need a professional. i'm not touching anything myself. the good thing out of this appears, i have fromt he low loss header, something that works. the boilers, yes, very suspect, but for now, if they work it'll do. if they dont, i thing atags or valliant. i have...

    2 Keston C40's

    there is no heat pump attached yet. what sort of heat pump size/output/pressure do I need ? I get the point that the pump on the cylinder may not be powerful enough if its for a number of showers and baths.

    2 Keston C40's

    Your diagram reflects whats in the room. THanks for confirming that I can have different boilers. It provides me an escape route to non kestons and I've been suggested to look at the atags. And Now: to appease a person who fixed a big problem in my house for free, he has offered me 2 RM...

    2 Keston C40's

    I like your idea a lot makes sense and I'll ask the plumber to do this. the low loss header is already there, both boilers feed intot he low loss header, we have motorised valves to do it, I just need the cylinders, so now it is looking like 300kw cylinders is going to be enough. so my acton...
