Hi
I live in Ontario, Canada. I’m from the UK and we used to be able to get these shower pumps
https://www.screwfix.com/p/salamander-pumps-ct50-xtra-regenerative-twin-shower-pump-1-5bar/20423
Dead easy, just fits inline somewhere before the shower and when water flows through it boosts it, needs electricity of course
Can’t find anything like it in North America- or is it called something other than a ‘shower pump’?
Thanks
Mark

I've never run across one of those. I makes sense, but not seemingly used in NA very often.
Consider that the pump could create a vacuum in the system -- a very dangerous situation.
I will note, however, that if you Google "water pressure booster", you will find a number of "whole house" units.
I have used this type of pump for increasing the pressure in the whole house, when the City's pressure was low. I just install it after the water line enters the house. You think this would work for you? https://www.harborfreight.com/1-hp-stainless-steel-shallow-well-pump-and-tank-with-pressure-control-switch-950-gph-63407.html?_br_psugg_q=pump
A company called Grundfos makes such pumps for residential use. They are pretty high end for whole home use. Google or Amazon may lead you to other less expensive examples.
