Power Shower with Combi Boiler - HOW!

Hi All
Looking at my bathroom in my new house, which I’ve owned for about a couple of weeks. I notice that I have a power shower installed, which has a hot and cold feed going into it. Fine I thought. Looking at my boiler it’s a Valiant Combi boiler… How is this possible? There are no water tanks, additional pumps etc.
I was under the impression that you cannot have a Power shower connected to a combi boiler. It appears to be working fine with reasonable force, more so than the water coming from the taps in the bathroom. What are the implications if I continue to use the power shower!
Regards

How do you know its a power shower???
I too thought it was impossible to run a Power Shower off a combi.
The hot water flow rate will only be as good as the combi can output.
Maybe you have a combi boiler that is massively over specced and can handle a monstrous flow rate/pressure??
Or maybe the Power part of the shower is not functioning and its working like a thermostatic shower???0 -

Could it be a thermostatic mixer shower? They are quite powerful but don't have any additional pumps or tanks
Something like this?
