I have 2 Mira Excel showers installed in separate rooms on a low pressure gravity fed system. One works fine and produces fairly good pressure and good temperature at a low setting (around 2). The other has had poor pressure and requires the controller to be set to near maximum to get a good temperature. They are both T-ed off the same hot and cold supply pipes/shutoff valves and are within a few feet of each other so only have very short sections of separate pipes. After replacing the hose and shower head, I then assumed it was the valve so got a new 903.33 cartridge set to low pressure and replaced it. The symptoms are still exactly the same. The pressure doesn't noticeably change for any adjustment of temperature. The cartridge is installed with hot on the left as was the previous cartridge.
Any ideas on next steps. All I can think is that either of the short section of separate hot/cold pipe is constricted or the new valve is also faulty. However I would expect that the pressure would change for different temperature settings if there was an imbalance in supply pressures/volumes.
Any ideas/next steps to take?
