My bath fills at approx 40 lpm (hot and
cold together)

So 20 litres/min on hot water, the same as many combis.

20lpm of hot at 60 degrees plus 20lpm at mains temperature is not the
same as 20lpm at 40-45 degrees.


There ain't a domestic combi that can match that.

Many are way above 20 litres/min. The Gledhill Gulfsteam floor mounted combi
delivers 45 litres/min of "hot" water.

This a CPSU and has storage.

The MAN Micromat 76kW can deliver
over 30 litres/min - for ever.

Requiring more than a standard domestic gas supply can deliver.

The ACV Heatmaster pours out the hot water
flowrate.

This is also a storage device.


If you are going to make arguments in the direction of these kinds of
appliance, at least do so honestly with all of the factors involved
taken into account, and not just the ones that suit you.
