how to get high flow rate on the shower/body jet

[wizy77]

I need some advice from the Experts in this forum.

I am installing a new shower in my bathroom as part of a large scale refurbishment of my house. I have an unvented (Megaflo) system, with 3.5 bars pressure and about 22L/min (I think!) flow rate via 22mm pipes.

I want to install a ceiling shower and 2 or 3 pairs (4 - 6 in total) body jets. I don't need the shower and the ceiling shower to work at the same time.

I have already bought an Aqualisa Axis digital shower system (which has the controller in the loft) with 15mm connectors & a diverter, but I'm now concerned the flow rate (18L @ 3 bar) may not be enough for the 6 body jets.

Should I return this and get a non-digital 3/4" system? I don't want to install the expensive shower only to find it doesn't work properly.

What would you advice?

would have thought makers would state pressure/flow requirments on intallation data

It says the thermostatic valve is limited to 17 l/min. Is this sufficient?

Yeah that sounds fine
