Shower hot water requirements

[20pictures]

I have recently installed an Albion Superduty CF45 high recovery hot water cylinder. As the name suggests this holds 45 litres & is designed for a rapid reheat.

Is this sufficient for the installation of a power shower?

depends how long you want to spend in the shower

Thanks. I know it is an 'how long is a piece of string question' but I had read that 115 litres was the minumum in a standard cylinder.

So I want to know if I would be wasting my time/money investing in a shower if the new cylinder could not support it.

I was hoping for comment from someone who has a knowledge of the water requirements as must be used by a plumber when assessing a shower installation.

my ex has a power shower on a standard 900 x 450 cylinder and has no probs

...so that would be about 120 litres.
