water cut out

when switching shower on using high switch, the water cuts out immediately. To get the water to stay on we have to switch it on using the medium button then after 5-6 mins switch it on to high. 90% of the time the water stays on using this method.

We are having a problem at the moment with our ticketing systemit is running words together, we have people working on it!!

If when you say the water is gutting out I presume you mean thatyou are getting no water?

 

If that is the case you probably have a faulty solenoid valvesee below for how to check

 

It may be your solenoid valve, you can check it if you havea multi meter, you should have a reading of at least k3.5 ohms, across the twoterminals any less and you need a new valve. (Check the valve in the failedstate.) (When it has stopped working!)

 

If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is notoperating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them  with a guide on how to use them for checkingand testing the various parts of your shower.

 

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are reallyuseful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fusesand letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(So you will know if they are good or not) and lots of otherjobs, in short they are well worth a few pounds
