We currently have an old electric shower fitted in our house, for which the wiring is sub-standard. Rather than have to rewire, and have all the mess that involves, I was hoping to fit a bath shower mixer tap.
The boiler is a protherm 80e Combi, with a specified flow rate of 11.2l/min @ 30°C rise and 9.6l/min at a 35°C rise.
This is probably a stupid question, but is this a satisfactory flow rate for a shower? I'm particularly thinking that the temperature rise in the winter will probably be higher leading to a lower flow rate... (is the drop in flow rate linear? I.e Can i assume a 1.6l/min drop per 5°C increase in temperature rise??)
Thanks in advance.
