Thanks for the input but its a tiny one bedroom flat where the cubic space
taken up by the cold and hot tanks would make more sense as storage.

15L of hot water more than enough to fill both available sinks, showeroom
one is of railway carriage size...

Combi/condensing gas boiler would be preferable but not an available option
on this project.

Had one water outage ever, so unconvinced by reserve water supply reasoning,
specially for drinking water, seen inside a few header tanks, or aquatic
micro zoo may be better name.

Any direct experince anyone?


Hi,

If funds aren't a problem and the supply is up to it the best option
might be to get the most powerful electric shower you can.

Another option would be to have 2 15l heaters in series. One could be
switched on for washing up water and both for a shower.

This should give you at least 50L of water at shower temperatures
using a thermostatic shower valve, which works out to a 5 min shower
at 10L/minute which is not tooo bad.

How powerful a shower feels depends on the pressure as well as flow,
it depends on whether you want to rinse shower gel off or have a
vertical bath

cheers,
Pete.
