Hi all, A while ago I asked for some advice about replacing my showers to go with a Combi Boiler. I am still prevaricating as I dont know if the showers are just rubbish or if there might be a more sinister problem. I dont want to replace both showers only to find the problem is still there.
I have had the water board out to check flow rate and pressure as the water comes into the property and both are top notch. The boiler is pretty new and well serviced, it provides 12 Ltr per min of dometic water so that seems fine. The flow at both showers however is awful. The 'overheat' light comes on, on one and the water is like steam sometimes. The other is not so hot but the flow is still poor. Both are cold water fed electric showers and both upstairs.
Is there any way I can check the flow rate between the boiler and the showers?
Am quite happy to draft an expert in to provide expert diagnosis but would love to solve it myself if possible.
Many thanks in advance for your time.
