Bathstore goes into administration

The minimum legal pressure that any water company in this country can supply you with is 0.7bar. Obviously, your pressure is much higher than that and you appear to have a good flow at your tap. So, you don't have to think about flow and pressure. Go ahead and fit any shower that you want.

Even considering this?:

Have just run a test. I replaced the shower head on the thermostatic mixer shower in the bathroom with a gauge and turned on to full. I checked the readings over 20 minutes: between 1.75 and 2.2 bar.

Then I turned the cold on full in the bath. This caused a sharp but gradual drop on the gauge (still attached to the shower hose) right down to 0.1 bar. Other taps cause a lesser drop to around 0.8 - 1 bar.

Would changing the incoming supply pipe really make such a difference, especially when factoring in that most of the pipework within the property is 1/2" or 15mm anyway?

And, bearing in mind that drop to 0.1 bar, perhaps I would be better off with the Mira which claims to perform better at low pressures?

I know there's a lot of marketing guff out there, but Mira say:

"Mira Magni-flo™ technology means you can have a drenching shower even with water pressure as low as 0.1 bar."

This is your working pressure.

Sounds great. Go for it.
If this still did not satisfy you, maybe consider a booster set.
