    What is the difference between a gravity shower and the other type? Is a Tritron T80 Xr electric shower a gravity shower? Could you have a witha small tank in attic-don't know the term- and could it be connected to the electricity in the attic or have to be wired from the box over the front door?

    Is gravity the one where if the water pressure coming into house is low the shower will not work properly?

    Triton t80 xr is a mains fed shower which means it is connected to your incoming mains supply not your tank in the attic , it needs a minimum flow pressure of 1 bar at a minimum of 9l per min.
    The triton t90 is a gravity fed shower , this is connected to your attic tank , both showers need an electrical connection supplied direct from the fuse board minimim 6mm2

    T90 is a pumped shower. It's tank fed.

    The t80 is a mains fed shower

    Xr is just a reference to the riser rail.
