Electric Showers

Electric shower low pressure almost always starts before the shower. These units need a certain amount of cold water arriving before they’ll run properly, and the higher the kW rating, the more they need.

Whilst the usual advice is to fit a more powerful unit, that often makes things worse. A higher kW rating asks even more of the same weak supply. If you want the full picture first, our guide explains what makes an electric shower cut out mid-wash.

What an electric shower booster pump does?
An electric shower booster pump works the other end of the problem. It’s a small pump that fits onto the cold feed running to your shower and lifts what arrives at it. Water that actually covers you. Shampoo out in a fraction of the time. A shower that holds when someone uses a tap downstairs.
It’s WRAS approved, so it’s been independently tested and passed as safe on the water you drink and wash in. It runs on 12 volts. No wiring. No electrician.

Which pump for your electric shower?
The right pump for your electric shower comes down to the kW rating on the front of it. Take the quiz and we’ll tell you in under a minute.
