Save Up To £200 per year

[village idiot]

One of the plumbing and heating magazines advertised a product (FLOWSAVE). Claiming it can save your customers up to £200 per year? Has anyone tried this product? I'm of the opinion that this is another scam to fleece tradesmen & women of their hard earned cash.

If its the 1 I think it is its a thermostatic flow control for the hot supply out of a combi boiler. I am sceptical to say the least. I believe it is intended to reduce the volume of cold water flushed through a tap before the hot is supplied by the combi. Restricts the flow untill it reaches the set temp.

Is it similar to combisave?
CombiSave - the award-winning British innovation to save you time and money
Combisave used to have a detailed independent report on their website - if you spend time reading through it you would conclude you should just turn the hot tap on a small amount until hot water started coming through.
I did point this out - and they removed the report.

I think this has come up in other posts I have wondered if they are any good myself.

We have a baxi instant within arms reach of the sink with the 'instant' turned off until we need hot water. Turn it on for 2 or 3 minutes before opening the tap and, voila, immediate hot water, turn it off and let the boiler carry on doing what comes naturally. Saves gallons of cold water going down the drain (after it's been through our water meter, of course!).
