My daughter has just purchased a house in which the boiler is going to

After having a combi failure myself I realise that an electric shower is
beneficial, as you can always keep clean! :-)
There is an electric shower at the moment, but it is pathetic. The way
the temperature is regulated is by reducing/increasing the rate of water
flow.

I think most showers do it like that.

As a result to get a nice hot shower the water hardly has the
energy to leave the shower head. Can anyone recommend an electric
shower which will deliver a good hot flow?

Higher power = more heating of water. Just check the cable size and
see what your max shower size will be. It'll more then likely be a 6mm
cable thus limiting you to about 8.5kw which is reasonable. It's more
likely though that the crap shower hasn't got enough water flowing
through it to start with. Our 8.5kw shower was never that good until I
repiped it, with full bore valves and sweeping bends rather than 90
degree fittings, improved it no end.
