Definition of a Power Shower

[self builder 123]

Hi

Is there any accepted definition for a power shower ?

I assume that it is based on flow rate ?

Is 17 Litres per Minute considered a power shower ?

Cheers

From a previous thread

Just to be clear here, are you talking about:

1. A shower pump with a dual impeller which pumps stored hot and cold water simultaneously to the shower head for mixing and is known as a "Power Shower"

or:

2. A shower with an integral electric heater fed from the cold water main only which heats the water as it flows though it, known as an "Instantaneous electric shower"

Can I also just add its "Instantaneous water heater"

in most cases a powershower refers to the oldfashioned system with gravity tank and a pump to increase the pressure.
nothing to do with flowrates.
sometimes electric showers are erroneously called powershower
