Hi, I have moved from a 2 bed flat with combi to a 3 bed with boiler, hot water tank (airing cupboard) and cold water tank (loft). The pressure is so bad in the bathroom, but as expected. The cold water tank is attached to the toilet and the sink in the bathroom as well as the shower. The pump...

Yes but the head didn't make a difference (I cleaned it out from above and tested again without the head but no difference).

The dial was set to the highest flow I could get. To get just over 1l/min, I got 180mil in 10seconds... so timesed that by 6 to give 1080mil/min, just over 1l/min.

Well at least I *think* I know the reason now! All other taps are working fine in the house. I think I will give the shower head a big clean to make sure its not that (limescale!), and if its not I guess plumber :) Thanks All

Right. Is there anyway I can test the flow? I'm assuming a bucket and a stopwatch and put the shower head over the bucket?

Ah right OK thanks. Is there anyway you can test the pressure to confirm? Obviously getting a plumber out at 7am to test it can be irritating for both them and I!

Yep, but surely my combi boiler would stop as well?

Sorry I meant 9.5kw, I was reading the 2 in 2000 whilst typing!

Hi, Thanks for this. That does make more sense! Unfortunately I bought it 3 months ago, this is the first problem I've had and I don't have contact information of the previous owners (not that they'd care by now I suspect!). It is quite an old shower. Gainsborough ENERGY 2000X (assuming...

Hi All, Before I get someone out I just want to ask here. I have an electric shower which was working fine until a couple of days ago and now won't heat up in the mornings, we are talking 7am. It's a flat and water pressure around the flat is fine at that time (I can run taps and a bath...
