Well I have no problem getting undressed in 30 sec, so with your 100l
bath, you must have 200l/min. I very much doubt it.

Fine. I'll give you some figures. I get near 30 l/min of hot at 60C and
the same flow rate of 'cold' at probably around 10C since it comes from a
storage tank too. So it fills the bath in *about* the same time as it
takes to get undressed and get organised for a bath. If I'm in a rush to
get washed, I use the shower. Which also delivers the same sort of flow -
being an Aqualisa fed from 22mm.

If you'd care to recommend a combi which can match this I'll buy it
tomorrow. Unless, of course, it needs a commercial gas supply, etc.

The ACV Heatmaster 35 KW combi supplies 38 litres per minute of hot
water at 60 degree C. I have all the details. As you are now going to
buy one as it beats your 30 litres, take out a loan tomorrow as you
have clearly stated.

30 litres a minute from a tank in the loft? I would say 28mm pipes and
3/4" single bath taps to get that. Who has single taps anymore? I have
only ever seen them in hospitals. I only ever fit mixers which do lower
the combined flow. Single taps lower the price of a place.
