Temperature and pressure Issue [Loss of Hot water and pressure]

Hello, The water pressure to the shower unit is fine... When the shower is activated [turned on] in the COLD position the water flow [pressure] is more than perfect 100% However when the 1st or 2nd heat setting is selected, the water is reduced to a very luke warm temperature, if I try to increase the heat setting the maximum heat I can get is very luke warm and a considerable drop in the water pressure or flow rate....almost to a trickle Please help SoL

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

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

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


Apart from helping to fix your shower, 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 or not) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth the money.
