This question is regarding Gainsborough Energy 2000X - Shower Spares

gainsborough energy 2000x not heating water follow up

Barrie thanks for the reply. A little bit more information, the flow does not change what temperature the you set the shower too. If there is a call on the mains water which reduces the pressure into the shower, we get tepid water on the highest temperature setting. Does this still indicate a problem with the flow/stabilizer valve? Do we need to buy the following:



GNS-95605610 Gainsborough Valve Control Flow 95605610



Thanks

Q: We have a gainsborough energy 2000x which not heating the water at all, no heat on any setting. I noticed the flow rate is quite a lot faster than normal, the flow rate does not change when you move the temperature and flow rate controls through the settings. Does this indicate a problem with the flow control value, would this cause the unit not heat the water.







We have a softener installed, so there should be little to no scale within the system.







What would be the recommend part to replace?







Thanks in advance.

A:

Forgetting about the temperature turn the showerfrom fully hot to fully cold at fully hot you should have not much more than adribble coming from the hose and on fully cold you should have a good strongflow, if you do not have this difference then you may have a faultyflow/stabilizer valve.

The things to check firstare:

1 That the main valve cominginto your house is fully open.

2 Then check that the valve on the line to the shower isfully open.

If these valvesare not fully open then there may not be enough water getting to your shower.

Make sure that the shower head isclean and clear, that the hose isn’t kinked (this can happen just behind thehand set where it is difficult to see) also check the inside of the hosealthough it can look OK on the outside it could have collapsed internally

The other possibility is a faultyflow/stabilizer valve not allowing the correct amount of water into the shower.

A rough check is to remove theshower head turn temperature control to fully hot the water coming out of thehose should be a bit more than a dribble then turn to fully cold and it shouldbe coming out at full flow.

Ifthere is not much difference between the two then you could have a faulty flowvalve.

Yes this is the correct valve for this shower.
