Thanks to all who have replied. I did a fairly crude test on the shower and it appears to pushing through around 3 litres per minute, which is more or less the maximum the shower can heat. (According to an earlier post) I don't fancy the cost of a 10kW shower for the extra it would give...

The bits I can see are 22mm, with a couple of short sections of 15mm feeding into the pump.

I'm in the West End of the city, near Charing Cross. The shower is on the basement level, i.e. one floor beneath street level and one floor beneath the tank that is feeding it. To answer the other post as well, it wouldn't surprise me if there is some dodgy plumbing going on between the...

Hi everyone - first post on these forums. :) I've been trying to improve the electric shower in our tenement flat. There is very little water pressure, so I bought and fitted a fairly beefy pump - supposedly capable of up to 5 bar. However, the flow from the shower is still disappointing -...
