Hot water storage capacity for shower

[laurence1976]

I am currently installing a new airing cupboard in the bathroom and due to lack of space can only get a tall skinny hot water tank in there with a 93 litre capacity. I am thinking of putting in a pump for use with a shower.

Would the small hot water capacity cause problems due to the large amount of water being used with a power shower?

Any help appreciated.

It's subjective.
Electric shower is about 4 l/min
Reasonably good shower say 10 l/min, belter >20l/min.
You'll use about 2 x hot for 1 x cold.

So shower at 15l/min (=10l/min hot) = 9.3 minutes.

Long wait til the next one though, depending on spec of the cylinder. Consider a quick-reheating one, as long as you have a suitable boiler to heat it.
Take all reheat times with a pinch of salt.
