Plumber came around and said we have a gravity fed system with no pump.
Has anyone bought one of those shower heads that are supposed to increase the flow/pressure?

Yes bought one back from the states and it didn't make much difference at all.  Had a pump fitted to our gravity fed system and it worked a treat.  Replaced this when we had a combi boiler fitted and pressure is still good.

I ventured into a DIY store last night and noticed that a "Power Shower" may be the way forward (it's not the same as an electric shower - it has a built in pump). Quote "ideal for gravity fed systems with low pressure". £180 for a good one, probably £80 to fit?

Has anyone had one of these installed? I read that they sometimes need to expand the hot and cold tanks to run correctly which will mean more ££££££

How old is your house/system? - most modern systems have enough capacity...

12 years old. To be fair I think the tanks are quite big.
