01

Pressure and flow are different

Pressure pushes water; flow tells you how much arrives each minute. Both matter. Measure performance at the planned shower while other household use is considered.

02

The hot-water system sets a limit

A combi boiler has a maximum hot-water rate. A cylinder has stored capacity. A large head cannot create more hot water than the system can deliver.

03

Head size should follow the system

A well-chosen smaller head often feels better than an oversized one running below its design flow. A hand shower adds flexibility without demanding full rainfall flow every time.

What to remember

Measure available flow first and choose the head around it. Bigger is not automatically better.
