Electric Shower and Limescale

[mutlowj]

Hi All,
The mrs has a Redring Electric shower at her house and is just about a year old, Over the past couple of months the shower has started turning off and beeping and also had a really poor flow rate. THis sometimes also means that water is far too hot.

The Shower appears to be fed off the mains from the attic, The flow for the rest of the house doesnt seem to be an issue and running another tap in the house doesn't make any difference to the show flow.

One think we have noticed is the showerhead does get clogged with limescale so we have to clean in every month with a limescale solution of some sort. Im not sure if this is causing a larger blockage issue.

Im am handy at DIY so having a look is no issue however I'm not sure what may be causing this or where to start... Anyone who had any idea's please let me know.

It would be greatly appreciated.

Redring what model ?

Turning off what as in the heat or flow/heat ?
Sounds to me that your loosing heat activating the tco.

and also had a really poor flow rate. THis sometimes also means that water is far too hot.

Restricted/blocked shower head or filter can cause this.

If Wiltshire has the same hard water I remember from living in Hampshire, the inside of the shower (heating element) might be scaled.

The water in west Wiltshire at least is medium hard.

That won't make it to hot it would be totally the opposite.
