Hi,

I have just moved into a house with a shower cubible in an en-suite.
Having never owned a shower before i need some advice.

The water from the shower comes out very slow even when turned on at
full power, it is a mixer type system and the water tank is in the
attic.

What can i do to improve the pressure?

I have heard of the pumps which can be brought but i have also seen a
shower unit with those spray / mister nozzles on it in Homebase, the
unit says there is no need for an additional pump and has a flow rate
of 12 litres per minute - is this a good flow rate?

Will this type of system suffice without an additioanl pump?

Do you know if there is a pump on the shower system already? It might be a pump
that needs switched on somewhere before you get you get the proper flow you want
at the shower head. If your new home has been empty for a while before you
moved in, then the electrics may have been switched for safety reasons.

Have a look around the airing cupboards and things to see if you can see a
switch in the "Off" position. It might be near to the hot water tank if you
have one.
