    So it's a ground floor 2 bed apartment with 1 bathroom. The shower is pumped with a Stuart Turner 330N negative head pump. Very decent pressure and a good shower. So with a complete bathroom refit, should we keep it or get an electric shower installed? The electric shower option would involve cabling directly from the fuse box I'm told. Is it a case of if it's not broken why change it? Thank you.

    I'd have both. Power shower for when you have hot water & a triton t80 connected to your pump for when you have no hot water.

    Your power shower is putting out 10 to 14 litres per per minute. Electric shower puts out 3 to 4 litres of water per minute.

    I wouldn't bother with the electric shower option personally, unless there is some specific reason you need it.
