Elec Shower Poor Flow.

[TILTNTURN]

Bought house , shower fitted is electric 9.5kw Gainsborough 2000x so a few years old I thinks.
The flow from it is not that greta sadly . Having just ripped out the bathroom I see that the shower is fed from a pipe that comes down the far end of the bathroom through a boxed in section , then runs along the floor about 3 mtrs and then up about 5 ft to the shower.
I realise this is not best but to run a pipe straight down from the cold tank in the attic would involve a lot . Would it be worth buying a "Pumped Electric Shower" ? Would this improve the flow much or is the best option to rip the house apart n run a pipe supply "down" to the shower.? Thanks

The elec shower should be fed from the mains anyway. 9.5kW is never going to give you a great flow.

You could either buy a power shower or an external pump with an additional thermostatic shower mixer. Both will require additional pipework - needing dedicated feeds from both the hot water cylinder and cold water tank
