More water pressure... but only for showers and only for one user?!

OK, so I'm just a little unhappy about our water pressure at home. The shower is little more than a trickle and I think an electric pump could well help with that. But :-) more pressure means more water usage and there are elements in the house (read, my OH) who don't like that and anyway are happy with the way things…

The problem with electric showers is that flow isn't great, and even poorer in winter.

Our pump was fine unless the other half had a shower that lasted more than 20 minutes. I just added a second tank.

Worth pointing out that a 20 mins shower is not normal.
For saving energy and water, maximum 5 mins is recommended.
