    Why is the water pressure fluctuating?

    How is it plumbed in at the moment?

    It is an electric shower off the mains. The mains has old pipes and at time of high usage in surrounding area the water pressure dips

    You don't have a power shower. You have a mains fed Electric shower. These rely on good mains pressure to function correctly. Many areas in Ireland aren't suitable for mains fed showers. When you have bad pressure your shower will not be easy to control if someone uses water elsewhere in the house.

    If you want an electric shower that has steady pressure you need a Pumped electric shower. These are tank fed & can't be connected to the mains. Your plumber will have to alter pipe work.

    If you want a power shower, again you will need to go tank fed hot and cold supply as power showers won't work with mains.

    The triton t90sr is a good pumped electric shower

    If the OP wants a power shower he could go for the Triton AS2000XT which will give him a flowrate of up to 14 LPM, my neighbour has one and is very pleased with it over the past 2 or 3 years.

    A good power shower for the price range. He just needs to get a hot & cold supply to it that isn't mains supply & alter the electric supply. 14 lpm is a good flow rate. I have a much higher flow rate myself but I never feel cheated in hotels where i'd get 14 lpm either
