Sooooooooooo....the answer is..........what?

In most houses, there is hot water coming from a separate pipe off the boiler?

Yup.

There are two separate water pipes going into the boiler. One is the heating system, one is the hot water system.

My guess is that it would come from a branch line off of the main line out of the boiler. But what do I know *lol*. I am still lost in confusion here *ha, ha, ha*.

Cheers!

Since reading your post the other day my mums central heating packed in,,,so from that day to this morning I have been looking at Uk heating systems, here was a site that drew it out with pictures, was quiet useful, but trying to expain the whole thing to my American husband who wanted to help was hopeless,,,,he just kept referring to how things are here, which is no help!

Hope this explains the UK ones so you can "discuss" with your hubby
