Bristain 1500 power shower

Hi I have a bristain 1500 shower about 1 1/2 years old and when it's switched on the gravity fed setting not boost after a about five minutes it cuts out with no water coming out. When you leave it a while it will work again for a period of time. It's not a water feed issue I'm thinking it must be a solenoid issue that's shutting off the flow of water. Have you received these symptoms for this model before and can you advise if my thought may be the cause, if not your advise would be appreciated.

Almost certainly the solenoid, for how to check see below.

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

If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is not operating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

The video is intended as a guide and does not cover every shower.

If you don’t have a multimeter we sell them 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 and letting you know much power you have left in batteries

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