The message
from "IMM" contains these words:

"The Alpha CD50 condensing storage combi is designed to satisfy the hot
water and heating requirements of the larger home whilst reducing energy
consumption. When the store is fully charged an equivalent domestic hot
water output of 50kW gives a flow rate of up to 18 litres per minute at
approx 55C - 60C, enough to fill an average bath in about 3 to 5

minutes."

There is marketing-speak in this:

- The specification doesn't say what an average bath is.


The avergage bath is now 80-100 litres. This will fill an avarage bath in
minutes and never run out of hot water at any time. 3 minutes to recover
the water store.


Yet more evidence of dIMMs complete lack of numeracy.

80 to 100 is not an average, it is a range with a mid figure of 90.

We established a bit ago that dIMM doesn't clean his teeth in his
bathroom. Now it appears he doesn't bath either. E&OE a rough
calculation suggested that 80l in a bath would produce the level of
water that the water misers of WW2 might have approved of and (in my
bath at least) 100l would produce a depth before immersion of about 6".
My usual bath would take at least 120l, well above the extreme of dIMMs
range. The alternative of course is that dIMM is so fat that he doesn't
need much water in his bath in order to raise tide level to the
overflow. :-)

18l per min. for 3 to 5 minutes is 54 to 90 litres which is not far away
from dIMMs range but it would appear he has forgotten that 55 - 60C
would make for a very painful bath. Diluting 90l of 60C water with 60l
of 10C water would give 150l of 40C water and a brim full bath.

dIMM of course will be true to type and merely dismiss this as more
'drivel' thus yet again displaying to the ng his complete absence of any
meaningful cogitative ability.
