    Pressure to shower head

    See pics. They want more pressure to the shower head but want the cheapest option. Any suggestions? Water pressure to the bathroom is good it's just the shower head that's a bit tame. My suggestion would be to fit a new bar shower and a pump. What else could be done?

    Plumbing science question about meters head and bar

    First I'll give my understanding on how I think it works, haha bear with me people.

Would about 1-1.5 bar suffice...
