Had the plumbers round to quote for a combi system. The British Gas man takes out his flow rato-meter and gives me about 10l/min flow rate for the mains. What? The local plummer didn't even check for the flow rate, said it was no problem, but how can he know? The BG man said something about maybe finding the stop tap and opening it to the full might help; also that I might do something to the mains connection to increase the flow. Friends who live close by have a collossal mains pressure in York, why does ours suck?
Shouldn't there be an experimental shower room somewhere where you can check out showers with 3l/min (my current setup - old tank system),
10l/min and maybe 15 or 20l/min? It's hard to tell in theory whether 8l/min is good enough for me.Cheers,
