To power shower or not to power shower...

[jaminben]

Hi,

I've been told by a couple of 'experts' two different stories when it comes to power showers and was hoping for some more opinions...

I have a closed pressurised hot water system with a Range Tribune hot water cylinder on the ground floor and a mains cold feed. Our water pressure is ok when using our hot and cold fed shower upstairs but I'd like to add a power shower... is this possible or is not advisable due to the mains cold fed water supply?

Thanks in advance

If you mean a thing with an electric pump in it, then no - you cannot use pumped showers on a mains water supply, and there should be no need to do so anyway.

Ok, that's what I've been led to believe... we live in the middle of nowhere and water pressure isn't all that great on a good day.
