    New shower will not get hot

    Hi, I have just replaced our our Gainsborough shower with another Gainsborough Ambassador Thermostatic shower. We have a combi boiler system. The water just will not get hot. The hot pipe went hot for around ten seconds but then cooled down. Could this be because the cold water...
