Get the Perfect Performance from Your Electric Shower
The Shower Power Booster pump is the simple and effective way to boost pressure from an existing electric shower and to stop fluctuating temperature and pressure.
You can also boost the flow up to the maximum output of your electric shower. You can read more about boosting electric showers below or visit our blog “retrofit electric shower booster”

How Does It Work?
Boost Your Existing Electric Shower
The Shower Power Booster pump can be fitted before an existing electric shower to boost pressure and stop fluctuation in pressure and temperature.
When taps or toilets are used, water pressure to an electric shower will fall. This can cause the electric shower to become very hot or automatically switch off. Adding a Shower Power Booster before the shower will maintain pressure and stop this happening.
A single SP2B is normally all you will need but for very low mains water pressure, the SP21S double boost can be added inline before the electric shower. We suggest you buy a single boost SP2B or the double boost SP21S to match the KW rating of your particular electric shower.
For a 12.5 KW electric shower a triple boost or more may be needed.
Electric showers contain a heating element which heats the incoming cold water. Performance drops in winter as the shower works harder to heat the cooler water supply.
The KW (Kilowatt) rating dictates the amount of water they can effectively heat to 42 deg C temperature.
A shower power booster will increase the flow up to the maximum capacity of the electric shower:-
- 7.5 KW 3.5 litres a minute – Single Boost SP2B
- 9.8 KW 4.7 litres a minute – Double Boost SP21S
- 12.5 KW 6.0 litres a minute – SP2B plus two SP1U
A Shower Power Booster will increase flows to the maximum flow listed above but if you are already getting more flow the electric shower will close a valve to stop you getting more.
Ask Alan
Where can I fit the pump to boost my shower?
Simply cut the water pipe wherever is convenient and insert the pump. With safe 12V DC extension cables you can plug it into a socket up to 15m away.
My electric shower stops working when someone flushes the downstairs toilet. Will the Shower Power Booster help?
Yes. All electric showers have a low-pressure cut off. The Shower Power Booster will protect the water supply to your electric shower whatever happens.
