CombiSave - Energy Saving Valve for Combination Boilers

Product Information

Kenny Maxwell, Sales Manager at Teddington, said they decided to design a new model following talks with customers. In terms of a time saving, well, it hasn’t saved me any time at all in the mornings whilst waiting for the shower to warm up (if I’m first in), it’s still just over a minute’s wait unfortunately.

Heating and plumbing specialists Parr and Evans, which has more than 25 years of experience of providing heating systems to people in the Bristol area, now advise most customers – where appropriate – to fit a CombiSave.

Two rotatable elbows ensure it can be used on a range of 15mm pipe configurations and it does not affect a boiler’s warranty. So come on Combisave, your product has merit, please don’t spoil it by extraordinary, and, in my opinion and personal experience, overblown claims of monetary savings that it will simply not deliver. The average savings are 6 litres each time the hot tap is run from cold (average taken from 100 fittings).A CombiSave is a simple valve that monitors the temperature of your water. If you have a Combi boiler and find you spend a lot of time waiting for your water to heat up to the right temperature, a CombiSave could be a good solution for you. They're also a good idea if you're on a water meter as they'll help you save water and lower your bills as a result. Why do I need Hive Active Heating? CombiSave is designed to open at 45 degrees centigrade. Fitters have the option to lower or raise the setting by +/- 5 degrees centigrade as required. CombiSave is fitted using two rotatable elbows. All the olives and nuts required for fitting are supplied together with instructions and a fitting guide. CombiSave is recommended by both the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) and Waterwise, and can be fitted in less than 20 minutes as part of a normal boiler service or repair. And yep, good point about the savings being seasonal on the water savings, I should have thought about that. I’ll continue to monitor over the coming months and into winter to see how the water savings change over the seasons. I guess there is an effect on gas too? but I will not be able to monitor that so easily as the space heating will be on over winter months which interfere with my gas readings.

Each CombiSave needs to be tuned to each boiler to get the best savings (Temperature and flow rate adjustments) so you could possible improve on performance. On average, it will take around 30 seconds for hot water to get to your taps. Typically, you will notice an increase in flow as soon as the water heats up. However, it’s not a cause for worry. Your taps won’t suddenly start bursting with hot water. I own a huge house. How many CombiSaves will I need?

BA you go on about low energy lights etc which cost the best part of a tenner each and save pennies, I don't see the difference So would turning the tap on a bit achieve the same things as the CombiSave?? Would you get fed up waiting? Does it matter if you are close to the bolier? Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths, said: “This is great news. People are continuing to benefit from the Nest scheme which helps make their homes warmer and more fuel efficient.” David from Combisave points out, in a earlier comment to this blogpost, that you will save more in winter than in summer monhs as the incoming water temperature is much lower in the winter months, so takes longer to warm up. Hence your savings will be more in winter with a Combisave installed. On the older type of combi it takes a few seconds (up to 15 or so) for usable hot water to be produced or about 30 seconds for an Ideal Response!
