What do you need to make a shower into a power shower?

Question

As in what parts are needed, I think something like a pump for pressure, but I'm not sure!!

Answer 1

If you run of a combi boiler you would have a power shower. If you have low pressure mains water supply then you need a booster pump.

Answer 2

I suspect a pump is in order since you can't increase the pressure from the city or well source without it. Also check to see how much flow is required. Could be your home delivery isn't up to the amount......in that case you'll need to enlarge the delivery pipe to the house as well as upsize the water meter.......both very expensive propositions. Don't forget your hotwater tank. It too must be up to the increased use. The tankless water heaters might be an idea, but once again you have to check out the BTU required by the heater. Often the gas line to the home can't deliver that amount and you have to size up the gas line.

If all works out, have a lovely long shower for me......aaaah.

Answer 3

Get you a good handy man or your Dad and go down to B&Q or Homebase and take a look at all their power showers,
simply choose, take to the check out and buy, get your good handy man or your Dad to install and hey presto just what you always wanted.

Answer 4

your header tank needs to be bigger and higher up so the preassure is greater plus....a normal shower cant heat any extra water to the required level so it would run cold...(england)

Answer 5

power!

Answer 6
