Can someone recommend a electric shower with a powerfull water pressure

I need an electric shower that is powerfull when releasing the water from the shower head. I hear they can be a hit and miss, some very powerfull and some just a trickle!

Which is the best make and value for money?

    You did not read my post properly on your other thread.

    All electric showers are fed by cold water at mains pressure. The pressure is a function of the mains not of the shower.

    The flow rate is a function of the electric shower. You control the temp of electric shower by adjusting the water flow rate across the heating elements in it. So the higher the temp the lower the flow rate.

    Get the highest powered shower you can get (just make sure your wiring can handle it), but you'll never get a as higher pressure as mixer or pumped shower.

    No - his question is about pressure not flow rate. They are different.

    you simply cannot increase the mains pressure without a pump of some sort.
    flow rate (the amount of water) is another matter entirely.
    Get some gorm.
