    Default Shower Head

    I have an electric 9.5 kw shower. It has never been the most powerful pressure wise. I have recently replaced the hose and shower head and it comes out ok, but falls rather than sprays???
    Any suggestions please.

    Just replace shower head for correct one,the one you have probably put on now as holes too big in the shower head,you need a shower head for electric showers,these have smaller holes to allow shower operation with less flow rate

    A 9.5kw should be plenty powerful especially on max setting

    It should most likely have 10mm cabling to it so you could rip it out and pop a 10.4 on there.

    Or as Puddle said buy the correct shower head and hose and have the original performance you had

    Depends on the money you want to spend
    Regards

    Hmm!

    Have you tried a low loss shower hose with the right shower head. The low lose hose looks the same but the internal diameter is bigger, so you lose less to frictional resistance.

    9.5Kw, should give you a good shower, if site conditions meet specifications. Is the filter blocked? Its usually a sieve like bit of plastic stuck up inside the cold feed. Always worth a check.
