    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.

    Convert from electric towel radiator

    Hi, I've picked up a secondhand electric towel radiator, can these generally be converted to be used with a central heating system? It was probably made as an electric one but I can see how it might be possible to unscrew the heating element and also the cap on the other side to connect pipework.
