@clockworks Along with the Law, the MCS can be an ass with absobloominglutely no margin for pragmatism; we are two and used a 99 litre DHW cylinder without ever experiencing a shortage of hot water when we needed it. MCS guidelines (and validity for the BUS grant) required us to have a 210 litre tank as minimum for our 3.5 bedroomed semi. No space for any such animal so went for the Sunamp Thermino equivalent to 210 litre system at 25% of the volume - it sits in the base of our airing cupboard. We received the £5000 grant. Regards, Toodles.

Just to close this.

Finally had the installer back last week to fit an immersion thermostat with a higher rating.

 

As expected, no more rapid switching, immersion stays on and water gets up to temperature.

Thanks for letting us know @clockworks

I admire your optimism that the thread is now 'closed'.

It'll get re-opened at some point...
... when someone actually contracts legionnaires disease.

There will then be a lot of finger-pointing as to which organisation should take the blame.
