The things to checkfirst are.

1 That the main valve coming into your house is fullyopen.

2 Then check that the valve on the line to the showeris fully open.

It may be a faulty element in the heating tank(there are two, three in most 10kw showers) you can check them with a multimeter you should have a reading of around 12>18 ohms.

If you have power to the elementsand no heat it's probably the elements, no power to the elements thenit's probably a micro switch.

 

If you don’t have amultimeter  we sell them at £10 each with a guide on how to use them forchecking and testing the various parts of your shower.

 

Apart from helping to fix yourshower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply to appliances,for checking fuses, letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(so you know if they are dud ornot)  and lots of other jobs, in short they are well  worth the £10.

Finally one of these problems may have caused the TCO tobecome faulty

 


A faulty TCO will have no continuity across the twoterminals (The black thing on top of the heating tank)

Therefore a good TCO will have power at both connectionsand a faulty TCO will have power at only one.

(The function of the TCO is, if the water over heats itcuts the power off to the elements)

If you can’t pinpoint the problem then you may wish to justgo for a new shower, the shower below is more or less a straight forward changeover.
