You need to give us some details - what sort of hot water system for a start. If possible hot and cold flow rates (litres per minute - use a bucket).

Right I have a combi boiler and i would say flow about a litre per minute

10.5 KW electric shower

i would say flow about a litre per minute

Is that hot water from combi? And have you actually measured it, or is that just a guess?

sorry do apologise not combi!!!! have a cylinder
ive been looking round this site and have seen the jet stream venturi shower will this be ok to have???? as the idea of having a pump fitted seems quite expensive Thanks

i have popped a few aqualisa aquastreams in they are fairly cheap and easy to fit, not incredibly reliable but a good alternative to a fully pumped system

would this increase the pressure then if so will will look into it??
thanks for your help
