Well all that effort, it's an 8.5kw shower run off cold water tank, minimum you need 0.7-1.0 bar pressure with minimum 8 litre/minute flow rate, unless you can provide the pressure they won't work.
 
Possibly an accumulator, but there are others more commercially inclined who will give better advice.
 
There are electric showers with an integral pump built inside which are gravity fed and need only 8cm of head. I've installed these in b and b's due to mains being starved. Might be looking into and might be an easier fix for you. Noisy beggars though! The ones I've used are made by triton
 
I've also fitted a pumped electric shower before. The pump and 8.5KW heater are both inside the unit. Worked a treat in a similar situation but yes, very noisy indeed!
 
Mira elite 2 is one example of a cistern fed electric shower. Noisey buggers indeed.
