Looking to install a thermostatic mixer with a rainshower head and normal showerhead. I've got a 210L(there abouts) unvented cylinder, which has 3.1 bar pressure. I've measured the flow from the bath tap to be around 21L/minute.

Looking to install a hansgrohe shower select which can apparently supply 24L/min, with a raindance 240mm showerhead which will apparently chuck our 18L/min. This mixer has been chosen cause it will supply 2 outputs at the same time, looks nice and isn't made in china. Unfortunately it also has only off or on options. No ability to control flow.

I'm a bit concerned about the wife emptying the hot water tank in one shower when she has to shave her legs or clean her unmentionables.

Anyone got any experiences with rainshower with flow reducers? I've seen hansgrohe sell a shower with one fitted (the ecosmart models) which drop it down to 9L/min or would I be better off getting one of those after market dealies?

I could install a valve to control flow to the shower, but being realistic there is nothing to stop her just opening it up.

I suspect a rainshower head will be disappointing with a 9lt/min flow.
Any chance of fitting a bigger cylinder?
