Just had a new 35kw boiler installed. Everything working well except that I expected the hot water flow rate to be improved. I had a 20 year old 28kw boiler replaced. The new boiler is rated for 14 litres per min of hot water.
I measured the outside tap and get 20 litres per min at 2 bar.
The kitchen tap, which I think is flow restricting, delivers 6.5 litres per min on the hottest setting.
The shower, which I've just replaced for a manual mixer (the old shower's thermostatic cartridge was knackered and i wanted to see if the flow would improve without any restriction) is delivering 6 litres per min on the hottest setting.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time
