smoking power shower

[BS3036]

OK - serious question. I've always assumed a power shower was what I found defined as a shower assisted by a pump to increase water pressure.

We have such a shower, but the pump is under the bath.

Is a 'power shower' something which has the pump inside the shower stall, hanging on the wall? I'd appreciate a link to an example if this is so.

Power shower generally refers to a pumped shower which take both its hot and cold water from a normal header type system.
Electric shower generally refers to an electrically heated instantaneous shower which runs on mains pressure.
There is a mixture of both called a pumped electric shower which takes a cold water feed from a header tank.

Thanks for that - but was I right to assume that the pump is always fitted elsewhere, or do they make units where the pump is in a box with the shower controls mounted on and hanging inside on the cubicle wall (seems to me there wouldn't be room to fit a decent pump inside such a unit)?

or do they make units where the pump is in a box with the shower controls?

Apparently they do - try the Triton web site.

Oh yes, so they do - thanks.
