00:02:20.600 00:02:20.610 degrees and this ensures that it's a

00:02:24.619 00:02:24.629 combination boiler one that doesn't have
00:02:26.360 00:02:26.370 a separate hot water tank saved it for
00:02:28.550 00:02:28.560 as warm as you need having to add cold
00:02:31.160 00:02:31.170 water to the hot that you've just heated
