1 - If your water pressure is too low it can take 30 minutes to fill a regular bathtub as opposed to 10 minutes – with the right booster solution. At 3 bar at a tap we fill a 300 l bathtub in 10 min. This means the flow is 1800 l/h. Kv coefficient (l/h at 1 bar) of the tap is 1040 l/h. (1040 l/h = 1800 l/h / sqrt (3 bar/ 1bar)). If pressure at the tap drops to 0.3 bar, we would have flow of 570 l/h which means it will take more then 30 min to fill in tub. (570 l/h = 1040 l/h * sqrt (0.3 bar/ 1 bar)).
