I have no problem with the combi being used in this way, its just that with the set up I,ve got, I have to wait till the tank/cylinder in the loft has warmed up before I get any hot water, I was trying to get an Idea of how a combi hot water supply compares with a system supply, its a two room, kitchen and bathroom, tenement property and I havent got into the loft yet to see how well the tank/cylinder is insulated, Is it possible to have the system checked for performance.
If you have no instant hot water and have to wait for your cylinder to warm up. then it looks like you have a system boiler which is not a combi boiler.
What if the boiler is in the loft and you cant hook the DHW up to the kitchen (sensible option)
Does anyone just leave the DHW isolated under the boiler and let it just heat the cylinder?
leave cold live but isolate hot outto be safe or go into boiler parameters and disable hw function or remove flow swI personally would not

Sorry too much brandy too earlyI did not mean this could not be done I was saying I personally would not.but do install in the way I said in my previous posts.
No problem using a combi as a system boiler providing the DHW side of the combi is a water to water plate heat exchanger not a gas to water heat exchanger on a few dual heat exchanger models.
what about the intergas one thats gas water and can be used as htg only
Best ask Intergas themselves.
