Recommend me a Hot Water System

[Gippo]

Dont really want to become a HWS expert so please recommend me a hot water system...

• 3 bedrooms
• 2 adults 2 children
• Currently have instantaneous Bosch system thats Hot Cold Hot Cold all the time (no water saving devices - unit is over 10 years old and genuinely got issues)
• Dishwasher uses hot water
• Washing machine uses hot water
• Shower always goes cold when another water source is in use.
• Only one shower in the house

Would like the cheapest alternative that provides continuous hot water regardless of how many people/things are using it. Also need VERY hot water in the kitchen due to germaphobe wife. but would like safe hot water in the bathroom for the kiddies.

If you want the best for the job get a rinnai infinity 26 with a temp controller in the kitchen for up to 65 degrees and a controller in the kids bathroom which you can drop into the 30s but is limited to 50.

If you want cheapest get a bosch water wizard and a tempering valve fitted for the kids bathroom, it will keep the temp below 50 by mixing cold when it shuts off the hot, this leaves all other rooms at full hot.

Incredibly handy.

No fiddling with the taps to get correct temperature.

Gippo - might want to check your dishwasher, as most use cold water connections.

basically what you're after will only be served by either a controllable system like a Rinnai Infninity or a basic system with several tempering valves.
by law, bathrooms must be limited to 50deg water max. so either you need a system that can limit rooms with electronic controllers (infinity) or by using several tempering valves rather than just a single one. depending on your existing pipework layout, it may end up cheaper getting the electronic system.

Any recommendations on someone who can consult, plan, supply and fit?
