Warm water on full heat

Please can anyone help when the shower is on full the temperature is warm but will get hotter if I turn the cold taps on in the bath and basin ?

When you turn the taps on you are effectively reducing thepressure/ water flow through the shower which in turn makes it hotter.

If the shower is not hot enough to becomfortable then you may have a faultyelement in the heating tank (there are two, three in most 10kw showers) you cancheck them with a multi meter you should have a reading of around 12>18ohms.

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

If you don’t have amultimeter  we sell them at around £10 each with a link to an on line guideon how to use them for checking 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 toappliances, for checking fuses, letting you know much power you have left inbatteries

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