Hi folks,
I'm thinking of replacing my 10.8kW (mains-fed) electric shower with a Aqualisa digital shower (fed from my WB 37CDi combi + mains) so I've measured the following flow rates :
The flow rate from the electric shower (at a comfortable showering temperature) is currently 6l/min.
The flow rates from the bath (fed by the combi and cold mains in the adjacent bathroom) are 8.5l/min (max hot) and 15l/min (cold). These were measured independently.
NB. all the internal pipework is in 15mm, apart from the last foot or so to the bath taps, which is in 22mm.
Would I be right in thinking that the flow rate of a thermostatic shower is likely to be somewhere between those two values, so around twice as powerful as the electric shower ?
Cheers.
