We can live with the fact that the Combi Boiler drops pressure on other taps when one in use etc.
BUT
Were thinking of putting a Bathroom Shower in and not sure if the water power needs to be boosted. All this aside from above.
SO
Question is can a shower unit be sourced that ''sort of' boosts the shower strength a big like a karcher does when jet washing patio.
THANKS

Was told showers that run off combi boilers for hot water also require a flow balance control unit which slows the flow of the cold water before it gets to the mixer thermostat. Otherwise the thermostat has to do a lot more work and will break. Also something about the shower needing to be thermostatically controlled in case hot pressure drops if washing machine kicks in at same time as bathing. Thoughts?
 
no you just need a shower suitable for use with a combi boiler, and no you cant use a booster pump
