How do I measure my flow rate?

Measuring the water flow is an important step in choosing the right geyser. Water flow rate is measured in litres per minute (L/min).

To measure the water flow rate, you will need a measuring jug and a timer.

1. Hold the measuring jug under the cold outlet.
2. Turn the outlet onto fully.
3. Measure the water in the jug after 10 seconds, in litres.
4. Multiply the amount of water by 6 to measure the number of litres per minute.

For example, if you gathered 1Lt in 10 seconds, to calculate the flow rate in litres per minute – 1 x 6 = 6Lt gives 6L/min.

So, your geysers size will be a 6lt but not bigger than 12lt
