    Intergas RF 36 benefits over HRE 36 or OV

    tl;dr: Why install RF36 instead of HRE36 or Ideal Logic+ 35? How does weather comp/new thermostat differ to boiler's internal modulation? Is a non-pumped gravity shower acceptable (better than an 8kw electric) upstairs even with very old slow recovery HWC, or just go combi at 13lpm in small...

    Is there such thing as an anti-siphon trap for 15mm copper?
