I'm doing a bathroom at the moment for a landlord (strict deadline :() and there must be some long capped of pipes after it was swapped to a combi system. Everytime I turn the water back on the hot tap splutters really badly with dark brown water caused by all that stagnant water in the pipes.

Lazy pluming from the combi installer.................................. :rolleyes:
