Shower pressure with Combi Boiler
Reply with quote Thanks

I've just had a new Valiant ecoTec 28 pro combi bolier installed. I have also had a new shower installed. The problem I have is that the shower pressure is fairly low. I get a light flow out of the shower head, but that's it. Is there anything I can do to increase the shower pressure?

It's possible that you could have blocked filters on your shower if the flow to your taps are ok.

What shower do you have?

There are normally some filters in the two nuts of the shower valve. If you can isolate the water supply and undo these nuts (this will remove the shower valve completely) checks to see if they are clogged up with debris.
