    I'm not too sure about what exactly what is is that you wish to replace and with what. What type of enclosure do you have and do you wish to replace it? If you're just replacing the shower valve do you want another "power shower" valve or a regular one? Please give us more details. Regards, Tom

    The shower is one that has both hot and cold feeds, but the hot is pulled through the shower using the cold water pressure.

    I need to replace the whole unit as I have just broken this today. Because it is a hydroflow it does not have an electrical feed nor does it have a pumped system, just the cold water pressure. The hot water tank is not situated above the shower head it is on floor level (so no gravity feed possible). This type of shower does not appear to be sold in England any more.

    What other types of shower if any are compatible with this type of installation? Or will I need to add a pump and utilise the hot and cold pipes and have a power shower?
