Mend Triton Rapid 2 Water Pressure Electric

How can I fIx Low water pressure problem Triton Rapid 2 electric shower?

Triton Rapid 2 2.8 kw Electric Shower. Until recently shower was working ok,now have very little pressure at spray head although water is hot.Have checked piping for blockages all seems ok. Recently had water meter fitted could this be the cause of pressure loss ! I considered fitting a pump to boost pressure,hoever all DIY Books say this is a none starter with a gravity fed system, my shower is fed from a T into central heating tank supply in the loft.
Any sugestions!!

you've got a electric shower that tees of the tank in the loft.why don't you plumb it into the mains water where it should be most electric showers only work right if they have min of 1 bar pressure, gravity will only give you 0.1 bar every three feet from tank. you can put a pump on gravity to give you 1bar, you can't put a pump on mains feed water its illegal. the shower should have it own feed not a tee. also try checking all the shower head and pipe they scale up or kink causing pressure lose. 2.8 kw don't sound right more like 8'5kw.
