Sorry to keep picking your brains.
We're going from a gravity shower to a combi one.
What's the fundamental difference between HP and LP showers?
Is it possible to retrofit HP bits into a LP one or is it a new shower?
TIA

Some claim to be suitable for a wide range of pressures, for example

It should work fine that way - it's the other that won't.

It should work OK, If not then fit an external pressure equalisation valve
in the hot and cold lines. Available from BES:

http://www.bes.ltd.uk/
Product No. 16711

Make sure the hot goes right back to the combi to better performance...and
the cold feed of the combi right back to the stoptap which should be changed
to a full bore type.
