We have rubbish water pressure upstairs in our house (gravity fed) where there are 2 showers. The mains pressure is fine.

The solutions are:
Electric showers: Will cost £200 each plus the wiring from the fuse box AND we can't risk running both simultaneously are we'll blow the main house fuse!

Power showers: ?costs and noisy BUT the cylinder is IN the bathroom so extensive pipeworks probably not needed.

Megaflo HW system to deliver mains pressure to the showers. Will cost £900 for the cylinder alone.

Q: Will we get similar pressure (or well-acceptable pressure) from all 3 shower types?

MY thinking is to get an electric shower in our ensuite and a pump power shower in the kids bathroom on the basis they'll obviously be awake when they use it so the pump won't disturb.

The costs of the Megaflo: Well surely all I'm getting is good shower pressure? Any other reason why I'd get it? The existing system has a good 5 years left in it so it's not as if there's any other reason to change it right now!

Guide us oh wise ones!
