      I bet I have plugged more fat boilers than you in our careers as amateur plumbers.

    I bought a water-softener for the fat boiler today. It has little balls. lots of them.

      That's what I thought when you said you went out this morning for poos and pees with your husband. You really must get to grips with your plumbing.

    I understand American plumbing. Is this fat boiler a device to heat water? If it heats water, does it only heat water on demand, vs. heating and holding gallons of water for future use? Why is it called a fat boiler?

      It is basically a double immersion tank which heats and stores the water. It was too complicated to try an on demand version. The 'fat boiler' description is a crude insult to over-weight women of a certain age and proclivity. Now I am ashamed of myself again.

    Thank you Joanne. Finally a little decorum to Tom's post.

    As Joanne noted, I presume this just heats water as it passes through. No cheap rate night-time heating then!

      No, it stores the water it heats. If it were on demand, it would not be so fat.

      I finally settled on this method, after a year of pondering.

      It is being fitted right now, so let's hope not...

      Oh, I see what you mean. No, we just had a leaky tank for a year.
