I live in a high rise flat with the boiler and header tank just 1/2 foot higher than the bath,so pressure is low, what is the best shower if any I can install

You have 2 choices. you can get an electric shower (cheapest option) plumbed into the cold main but must be wired directly from the fusebox or a pump plumbed into the hot and cold supplies to your bath and wired to a plug point outside your bathroom (expensive). The second option needs a low pressure ballvalve fitted to your tank to keep up with the demand for water. Sorry I can't give prices, these differ depending on where you buy it and who does the work. good luck, hope this helps.

Your choices would be a shower which heats the water from cold or a pumped shower. A pumped shower will be cheapest to install, as less heavy-duty circuitry is involved.

You can choose any model of electric shower you wish. They all work from mains pressure which can be connected to the main that feeds your storage tank.

I'd be very carefull if you choose to add an electrical pump(to increase the pressure). A ground fault circuit interupter is mandatory! I'd keep it simple(without electricity) by using a hand operated transfer pump or a holding tank that can use air pressure to boost the water pressure. Use your imagination as to how to charge such a tank.

get a mira sport ..9.6 is plenty powerful enough but it must be connected to the rising main ..and you will need an electrician to wire the mains ..as it will need its own mcb ..thats a mains circuit breaker
