Gravity fed electric shower?

Hey! I currently have a mains fed electric shower… pressure isn’t great… even with a pressure booster pump. I’m thinking about installing a dedicated shower header tank in my loft to hopefully achieve more pressure than mains… but can you even get a gravity fed shower that runs solely from a cold feed? Any help is gratefully received!

Alternatively, some Instantaneous Showers will work with a gravity feed from a cold water tank providing that there is sufficient 'head' (i.e. the vertical distance between the base of the tank and the sprayhead) - typically a minimum head of 10 metres (33 foot) will be required - but check the literature supplied.
