Thanks for the reponses everyone. Hi Colin, I think the products you list are more or less just the tank half of the Ultrapower boiler I've been looking at. Since my current boiler is 18 years old and not too efficient I think I should probably just replace the whole unit with an Ultra...

Thanks AJRobb, that is helpful. Looking at shower heads Hansgrohe 300mm heads are for 22ltr/min at 3bar, would this likely be a good match? Is 3bar and 22ltr/min realistic from a 170SXI? Edit: Just did some reading up, it seems the pressure in the cylinder will rely on my mains water...

Could it be setup to provide a higher flow shower for less time? I'm a bit confused on how you feed these 400mm big shower heads. They say min of 2 bar pressure but what about flow?

I'm pretty sure it is 170L, "Volume of DHW produced 170L". Its called a 170SXI too but one of the diagrams comparing it to a conventional coil store show the Ultrapower as 120L.

Hi AJRobb, The brochure the plumber gave me mentions Max DHW Flow rate = 36ltr/[email protected] for the Ultrapower. Is that 36lr/min of 65C water! For example in theory could the 170litre ultrapower with a mixing shower provide 60litres a minute of warm water for about 6mins?

Hi Tony, Thanks for the reply. The plumber measured pressure I think since it looked like a pressure guage, I assume I can measure flow rate from the cold water tap in the bath with a big bucket and stopwatch? 200 litres at 30ltr/min for 7 min would be fine :) Are Ultrapower SXI...

Hi Everyone, First post here and I'll prefix this by saying I will not be doing any of the install, I just need to know what will provide a really good shower output from a large shower head. One bathroom only, 3 bedroom detatched. Currently have a 16 year old worcester 240 which seems to...
