How do I find out how much water is produced by my shower?


Renovation project
Place a bucket in the shower with a litre indication. Then count the number of litres that the shower head produces per minute.

New construction project
The amount of water that the shower produces depends on:

  • Flow rate and water pressure of the boiler
  • Flow rate of the shower head

We recommend to always consult a specialist when determining flow rates and water produced by the shower.



In which situations is a vertical outlet applied?


In most installation situations a horizontal outlet is suitable, but it may happen that a vertical outlet is necessary because there are obstacles in the way (for example with wooden floors). In this case, it is possible to order a shower drain with an optional vertical outlet.
