i use a ecotemp L10 and find it perfect for me.i use a high flow and i dont get any pressure issues that i used to get with the L5.even on minimum settings its nice and warm(not too hot to crack glass though used during cold weather).i little turn of the dial and i have very hot water for add ons and dirty first cleans.very happy with it.

i use it all day every day at the moment and costs me around £4 a day in gas.in the warmer weather ill probably just use it for the add ons/dirty jobs.

I use a fastar 8lpm lpg water heater as the boiler will fire up on lower flow rates if need be.
I also like the digi temp display on the fastar heater too so can see the temp at a glace comming out of the heater before it goes into the hose reel.

You will have no probs with a  fastar 8 lpm then as they will fire up much lower than that.

im sure i read somewhere you need a faster flow rates for the others, so i would assume you would need more water for the day

My understanding is the larger water heaters are generally not suitable for wfp on demand use using a 12v pump as is due to the flow rate require to fire up the heater and keep it alight.
