Just moved house and current set up is an electric shower with a hot water cylinder (oldish so not as big as the newer ones you get these days in new houses) and about a 50" square cold water tank sitting above it.

The electric shower is a Mira Sport, and doesnt have a great flow of water. We would like a more powerful shower.

What I would like to know is, in order to have a more powerful shower such as a mixer what would we need to do?

I have been advised that we need to move the header tank into the loft and get a pump.

Now to cut a long story short! Our loft hatch is tiny, we are in the process of getting it made larger having been told that in ordewr to have a decent shower we would need a 50 gallon tank, but a new tank would be bigger than the biggest loft hatch available, which leads us on to our 2nd problem of how would we get a bigger header tank in the loft - do we need a bigger cold water tank?

SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE

I have recently been to 2 flats that have your current set up. These dwellings were occupied by pensioners, they did not have baths, only shower cubicles. They employed a plumber to fit a pump to the hot water system and it works. Bear in mind low hot water usage (no bath) and all hot water outlets were pumped.
I know it is not as per MI's,but food for thought
And pump was noisey
