Hi, I hope someone can help so I can be armed with a bit of knowledge before trying to sort this out with my builder/plumber.
We have recently had new central heating (combi boiler) and a new shower installed with a concealed thermostatic mixer valve. All the taps in the house can be turned up to a very high temperature but the shower only runs to a max of just-a-bit-hotter than lukewarm which is not nearly hot enough for me (will definitely not be in the winter). My question is, idoes this sound like a maximum temperature restrictor/safety mechanism in the shower valve? It goes hot for a split second at the highest setting then back to lukewarm.
As it is concealed (it is this model http://www.bathdisc.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=32_122&products_id=1438) does this mean having to pull tiles out to adjust or would it be in the valve unit itself and therefore less disruptive?
Any advice would be much appreciated!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
