Shower not getting as hot as previously...

Hi, the showers not getting as hot as it did previously, we now have to have it turned up to 8 to have a hot enough shower. Continuity of elements checks out fine, 10 & 12 ohms, micro switches are good and TCO is ok. Water flow is ok and we have a watersoftener, i stuck a new element (from shower doc) in the can about 18months ago. Frankly, i'm stumped any ideas?

The temperature and flow rate are always (Nearly always!! and always in your type of shower) connected.

When you turn your shower on you have a 7.5kw, 8.5kw, 9.5kw or 10.5kw element heating the water and this does not vary. The way you alter the temperature is by varying the amount of water that passes over the element, pass the water over the element slowly (a little water) and it gets very hot, pass it over quickly (a high flow rate) and it doesn’t have time to pick up much heat.

This explains why in the winter at the same setting as the summer the shower is not so hot because the temperature of the incoming water has changed.
