I have just installed an Ideal Response
Combi, as I thought it would give a good
flowrate, up to 14 litres per/m. When only the
shower is taps are used it is fine, but as soon
as 2 taps are used or the toilet is flushed, the
original flow drops to almost nothing. Is there
any thing I can so about this?? everything is
plumbed in 15mm pipe, with one feed from
the bolier to the bathroom.

I can tell you are a new convert to a combi. You simply need to tell the other people in the house not to run taps or flush loo(no number 2's) while you are taking your shower.

You could also buy an accumulator which will help you maintain water pressure...

Combis are great for flats and small houses, but a definitely no no for families.... of course also changin the main wold help...as I do know of combis that dont have this problem but both the flow and pressure is good
