Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I apologise for any terms or descriptions which are terrible!!
We have a shower that has been fitted for about 2 or 3 years. We didnt fit it. It is not electric. About 6 weeks ago the water pressure has been appalling. some days it is fine, others it is just a dribble coming out. WHen the pressure is bad, it makes a whistling noise.
I have checked that its not the shower head, but even when you disconnect the shower head pipe from the bit at the wall the pressure is still bad. The knob that you turn to change the temperature seems a little stiff, as does the knob for turning the water on. I have tried WD40 on them, but as I am sure is obvious to anyone who knows, that had no effect at all. Someone suggested turning the temperature knob up and down a lot as something could be stuck inside, that hasnt done anything at all, although it does appear that when its at cold the pressure is a bit better, when you turn it to hot the pressure drops again.
This may be a red herring, but sometimes when using the shower it suddenly goes cold. This has never happened before the pressure problems. I have checked the boiler in case of a drop of pressure there, but that all seems fine too.
We have normal water pressure to the taps and the bath in the same room.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do next, or what it may be. I do not know what make of shower it is unfortuantely.
