To understand why it happens, you first need to know about the things that are directly related to your shower and strongly affect its performance. Only then you will be in a position to fix this problem and enjoy your shower.

Factors Affecting Shower Performance

• Power Supply

The factor which affects the working of an electric shower the most is the power supply. The power supplied to the shower keeps the water warm and ready to use every time. The amount of warm or hot water produced by the shower is directly connected with the power rate, measured in kW.

What does that mean to you? It means that the higher the rate of kW, the higher will be the rate of flow and force of water will be. If this rate of power is low, the pressure of water will become low as well.

• Water Pressure

Water pressure is the measure of the force with which water runs through the pipes. It is measured in bars, where one bar is capable of rising water up to 10 meters.

Every water supply company ensures to provide a certain level of pressure for every home. Still, this water pressure is often affected by various factors like the location of the house, hilly or far from the water source, and water drawn by the neighbors.

What could be the problem?

As a matter of fact, if you start experiencing a consistently low water pressure in your electric shower, there is a possibility to have various reasons.

1. Your water connection might be faulty and has a plumbing issue. Immediately call for a plumber to check if there is any leakage in the connection or some other problem.
2. If the water connections are not faulty and good at work, then you might not be getting the promised amount of water from the water supply company.
3. The power supplied to your electric shower might not be enough to provide maximum pressure. Low power will provide low pressure and will drain out little water.
4. If the water pressure on other taps is normal but low on the showerhead, then it might be the case that the shower is placed quite high. The extra height of the hose of the shower also slows down the pressure.
5. Lime-scale and dirt also become an obstacle and lower down the water pressure through the showerhead. The showerhead should be properly cleaned on regular basis to get rid of dirt and limescale. Anti-limescale technology is used in many electric showers to avoid this problem.
6. An electric shower only works under a cold mains supply. If the situation gets reversed, the water pressure will be affected as a reaction.

How to Increase the Pressure of Electric Shower?

If you want to increase the pressure of your electric shower, you have various options, such as:

1. Before doing anything, check your showerhead if it’s clean. There shouldn’t be any dirt or limescale inside the nozzles of the showerhead. Also, check the shower hose if it has any damage or kinks. If recently some plumbing work has been done, look for the main valve if it’s open or half-closed. It also lowers down the water flow and pressure.
2. If the showerhead is not clean or badly blocked, all you need to do is to replace your old showerhead with a new one. The new showerhead with clean nozzles, fresh hose, and unblocked spouts will make a huge difference, and will surely increase the water pressure.
3. If everything else is perfect and flawless, but the water pressure is still low, you can consider fitting a water pump or a pressurized cylinder that will increase the flow and pressure of water tremendously. It will boost the water pressure up to 40%, but you need to check whether your existing shower can be accommodated with a pump or not.
4. Another solution to deal with this issue is to get a power shower. A powers shower uses both the hot and cold water and provides the potential to the water flow through the electric water pump. A power shower is capable of providing 3 times more pressure than an ordinary electric shower.
