shower question

Hi all
I have an electric shower and when i turn the temp up the shower gets weaker and when i turn the temp down, the shower gets stronger. From my research this is the case with all electric showers....... however i would like to know what are my options if i wanted to convert or change to a system where i could have high pressure hot showers...... can i add a widget or something to make this happen ? or will be a costly affair ?
Thanks

You could get a higher wattage shower, which may need new higher rated cabling and trip switch/fuse. The faster the flow for a given temp, the more wattage is required to maintain that temp.
Or one plumbed into the hot water tank if you have one, with a pump.Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0 -
Replace it with a pumped electric shower. These are designed to run at higher pressures and are generally very good. Beware if your on a water meter though!0
