Dear Rose Many people raise concerns over water pressure on electric showers because of the fact that they are pressurised from the mains water supplies. In winter when it’s colder does my shower pressure get reduced? Can I fit a booster pump to increase water pressure? Is there a way of getting high pressure electric showers that don’t suffer from poor water pressure at higher temperatures? All of the answers to these questions can be found by looking online at stockists and suppliers of modern showers. Essentially each shower model type has positives and negatives and some of the questions above are valid concerns for any potential buyers of electric showers. Water pressure is indeed dictated by that of the cold water supply into the house, and in winter the colder water temperatures can result in lower pressure as it becomes harder to heat the water quickly. As they run from the mains water supply, these showers can be installed regardless of what water system is in your home. Unfortunately, unlike other shower models, you cannot fit booster pumps to electric showers. However, if you’re looking for the simplicity and eco-friendly budget of an electric shower you can get higher pressure equivalents by looking for a higher power rating. Electric showers can be purchased at 8.5kW, 9.5kW and 10.5kW, the higher the power rating, the more pressure that can be guaranteed from your shower. I hope this can help Best regards Rafal
