Default +Aqualisa Quartz Pumped +DHW Cylinder Size

Have just ordered an Aqualisa Quartz pumped shower, but am just having
second thoughts......

The DHW tank which is "driven" by an oil fired boiler is approx 4'
tall x 2' diameter.

The Aqualisa's lowest output setting is 8L/min. I am worried this
will quickly empty the tank. anyone any real world experience of this?

I make that about 12.5 cubic feet, about 350 litres. A bit over 40 mins
worth.

Depends on whether 2' dia x 4' tall are just the tank or "over-insulation"
dimensions!!

Key Stage 2 maths...my ten year old does this stuff!



I know, but there's never a 10 Year old around when you need one!

I would guess it at approx 2' under the insulation.
