And it wasn't really advice if you read it carefully (it's very carefully qualified), but better than I get from Plumbase who sell me an immersion heater and tell me it's suited to a stainless cylinder and then when I read the instructions it clearly states 'this is for use in a copper cylinder only'.
Now I only trust manufacturers, and only when they put it in writing, and even then I'm sceptical, because most technical departments don't really have a clue; in fact I've spent more time studying the Honeywell ABV than anyone I've spoken to in Honeywell's technical department who only go off the limited information they have [in fairness, they did tell me how to strip it down and reassemble, which helped].
Even Mira doesn't have detailed information on the flow rates for all of its showers at a range of given operating pressures. Then they tell me 'there is a variety of factors' (no there aren't, not when I'm asking for the flow at a given operating pressure at the shower inlet).
Quite honestly, I prefer evidence based on real experience, hence perpetually lurking here.
