Shower losing heat

Hi, we had a power cut in the house whilst the shower was on a couple of weeks ago, since the shower has came back on it now has to be on the hottest setting (10)to get a useable hot water ( used to be around 6 or 7 ) but on the back of that water flow is reduced once the temps turned up making it difficult to use. The water runs fine on all settings its just now cold on 7 where it used to be lovely with a good flow. Any ideas please? The power cut may have just been a coincidence.

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

Ifyou 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.

Ifyou don’t have a multimeter  we sell them at £10 each with a guide onhow to use them for checking and testing the various parts of yourshower.

Apartfrom helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checkingyou have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses, letting youknow 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 £10.
