Hey guys.
Just a quick question regarding average water flow rates with showers.
I'm thinking of getting a mixer shower, but it requires 13/14 litres per minute flow rate. I was woundering if this was abit excessive.

The shower details are here;

The
bunaglow is oil heated with a hot water tank in the cupboard and a cold header tank in the loft, no pipes have been installed yet as the bathroom is changing rooms and is getting plumbed up once I know what bathroom I want. I will have to install a twin pump to get to 2 bars which the shower requires.
Cheers for your time.

with all the jets i'm not suprised at the flowrate

might be worth checking how much stored water you have and the age of the existing cylinder
 
Is that a high flow rate then???
I'll have a look at the size of the tanks.
I'm not sure how old the tanks etc are prob when the house was made 1960's.
What's the best way to find out the storage capabiltys.
