Hi Everyone
I had an issue recently where my shower slowed to a trickle (bar shower mixer fed by unvented cylinder for hot and mains for cold). Plumber replaced whole shower as when dismantled it was full of limescale and a grey sludge he said he’d never seen before.
New shower works great but every few showers it slows to a trickle again. I dismantle it myself and sure enough in the hot feed the filter on the cartridge is blocked with grey gritty sludge.
Could this be limescale coming from further down the system and what can I do about it as I can’t keep dismantling the shower every couple of days.
Thank you
