    Hi
    How many Liters per minute is considered as a reasonable flow rate for a leisure center shower ? Thanks

    Where multiple communial showers are installed the best mixers are the push button type which can be adjusted to pass the flow rate plus time when it automaticly turns off.Which if pressed can bring the shower on for longer use.The Mira Rada showers are of this type,& are water saving.

    9 litres/minute mixed is normally the design flow rate for showers.

    But as said you can get water saving options with some heads,which reduce to somewhere around 5 litres per minute.

    The boiler I've been recommended is a Rinnai 26i, which the spec says will give 7 Liters p/min to 4 shower heads all on push buttons. Does that sound reasonable or is it a bit of a weak shower? Any other suggestions for instant gas heaters for 4 showers? Thanks

    Better to have a direct fired gas water heater for multi showers.
