Just moved into a new house. This is the ensuite shower.



Obviously we are going to renew.

This existing shower is pathetically weak which I can't have I'm afraid! How do I go about fixing that, I don't know what type of shower it is and what I should be replacing it with. House has a standard boiler and water tank in loft. In the main bathroom there's a standard electric shower which is ok but nothing special, a Triton T80Si which I think is 8.5kw. Should I get something similar but with a more powerful pump?

Cheers for any wisdom!

I had the same thing in my house when we moved in. First weekend i fitted a 2 bar twin impellor pump, best thing i ever did. The wife complained it was too powerful.

We have since revamped the room but the pump is still in place.

Cost wise your looking around £150 for the pump

Sounds perfect! What do I buy and how do I do it?!

The taps are great. The ensuite shower is garbage.
