My shower pressure isn't very high. It works OK but I'd prefer higher pressure if I can get it.

I don't want to install a a pump but I'm thinking of getting a new shower head from Amazon (via Bozza of course!)

Plenty here https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=shower+booster+head&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Anyone bought any of these and if so did it work? Any suggestions or recommendations (preferably sensible)?

It's only a shower head. If the reviews are ok, GO FOR IT!!

Funny that.

I've got a plumber coming out this morning to sort the pressure out in the shower.

I don't think a new shower head would solve our low pressure.

I managed to improve the pressure of our shower simply by installing a wider diameter shower hose. The one I bought was a couple of mm wider than the original hose.

Is it just an age thing?
Can't you just give it a blue pill?

Some shower heads come with rubber washers that restrict the flow of water, as a eco thingy.

Had this one installed back in April at the same time as we had a new Vaillant Combi Boiler fitted. The shower works brilliantly, heats up quickly and is as powerful as the Aqualisa digital pumped shower it replaced, very happy with it.
