This question is regarding Sirrus Ts 1600 Thermostatic Shower Valve - Shower Spares

low temp

Hi there. The tempertaure on our shower became increasingly difficult to get up and then stopped altogether getting hot. I have then bought a thermostat for you and replaced this only to find that it now gets warm when you turn it right up but still does not get hot. Can you advise me what I need to do to get it hot? Thanks

See if you can get hold of the hot supply pipe before it enters the shower or perhaps as it leaves the boiler.

 

If when holding this pipe the temperature fluctuates or goes cool then the problem is not with the shower but more likely with the boiler as the shower can only deliver what the boiler sends to it. If this is OK then the most likely problem is that the Piston is sticking you need to remove this make sure that it is clean and then give it a good smear with silicon grease.

 

Here is the link to the Grease.
