In the middle of an ensuite refurb at the moment and I am looking to change the trap that came supplied with the tray to the MacAlpine ST90CPB-S. The supplied trap can handle 33 l/m whereas the MacAlpine can handle 26 l/m. Should I be concerned about the reduced throughput? I have another trap I could use that can handle 48 l/m, but if it causes no issues then I would prefer to go with the MacAlpine trap.
For information, I have high pressure / flow rate and a powerful combi in the property and I assume that I could exceed the capacity of the new trap if the correct mix of mixer and head was used.
Putting aside the green issue, I assume that 26 l/m is in excess of what would be considered a typical power shower rating? Any reason I wouldn’t want to drop to the lower capacity trap?
I understand that I’ll need to match the throughput of the trap to that of the output of the shower.
TIA
