They will do a 1.5 bathroom. If you have a

two people showering or filing a bath at

but it is not aimed at that market.

From the WB website:

"Application of Greenstar Highflow 440
The Worcester Greenstar Highflow 440
delivers domestic hot water at a
flow rate of 20 litres/min (4.4 gpm), making
the appliance ideally suited for use in medium
to large sized family homes, incorporating up
to two bathrooms. "

- To me that means they claim it is suitable
for two bathrooms and therefore simultaneous
use of both. However if it drops to 11l/min
after a short time then it is clearly not.

It is the total time in filling two averaged sized baths that matters. It
may spurt out 20 litres/min until half full then drop to 11 litres/min for
the rest for the fill still that is not a slow bath fill in total. In all
with 2/3 to 3/4 of the bath being cold water a 100 litre bath will fill to
half full in about 2 minutes the 4 minutes for the remain half giving approx
a 6 minute bath fill filling two baths. Not bad at all.

As I previously said, If you know your family usage you don't need over
powerful equipment and large storage

They also recover in a few minutes, so if someone wants a fast full bath,
you hang on for 10 minutes and then you can fill the bath pronto too.
