I really know very little about plumbing except that I am getting really kn****d off with mine at the moment.
Where should I begin. We have been having problems with our mixer shower recently. Its a 2 year old Grohe Grohmaster 2000 EV working with a Salamander CT75 Shower Pump 2.0 Bar Twin. we have recently been having problems with this in as much as it keeps cutting out. Mainly (or so I thought) because there seemed to be little cold water coming through it. You had to turn it to boiling hot and then gradually turn it to cooler but the cold water didnt last very long.
I was advised to clean the filters in the inlet pipes to the pump. Did this, cold one had a few bits of rubbish in there but hot was ok. However the shower still isnt working properly and we now have an added problem of hot water from the bathroom taps. The water starts to come out ok but soon turns into a trickle.
We have a cold water tank in the loft and a hot water cylinder in an airing cupboard. We have an ideal boiler for hot water and heating. My hot water comes on around 3.30pm and turns off at 7.30pm Last night I washed my dinner pots etc in the kitchen sink. Washed mine and daughters hair at around 8.15pm using said shower which cut out part way through daughters rinse and then tried to run a bath but only managed to get about an inch of hot water before it became a trickle. Tried turning on the hot water tap in the bathroom sink and it was bone dry. No water at all.
All seemed fine again this morning with the bathroom sink tap.
I am now getting really fed up and am ready to call a plumber out but would like to know a bit about what the potential problem could be .
Which is where I need help. Sorry for the really long winded question.
HELP !!!!!!
