Low Water Pressure Shutdown

Shower runs approx 2 mins at any setting, then shuts down showing low water pressure, sometimes restarting after a few seconds, but mainly staying in low pressure mode. After approx 10 minutes can restart the shower but it only lasts seconds before shutting down. If I leave it off for several hours, it will go back to running for approx 2 mins.

I realise that this is an old shower and most parts are shown as obsolete, but is there any hope/way it can be repaired. Or can you reccomend a replacement that will fit over the space that will be left by the control panel, without us having to do a major shower overhaul

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.

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
