    Flow rate from electric shower

    Can anyone tell me what flow rate to expect from a 9.5kw shower? Got to attend a rental house where the customer is complaining about lack of flow. It could be a blockage in the shower, or head. But would like to measure the rate, in case I need to explain that they will only pass so much. cheers.

    Best way to fit a bypass for a whole house pump

    When fitting a whole house pump with break tank, I tee on the water main after the pump ( with a stop tap and double check valve). This enables the customer to still get water if there is a power cut. Does anyone know of a normally closed valve, that will open on power failure, so this can be...
