Yea this is ideal, Converting to unvented is a non starter I think. Was in here looking for less work not more . I’m thinking I can I work out how quickly the pump will drain the cylinder using a mixer shower from the pump and shower specs. I’ll go some googling before I fire away. Thankyou for...

Yea so ours would be 114L then. Does make me a bit worried about fitting it. Can’t see us ever having two people showering at once but my wife and her industrial sized mop of hair is fond of a long shower.
