Hi emerylloyd, i managed to replace it with a new triton shower Pietra. So far it works fine and no low pressure last night. Fingers crossed it will stay that way. Thanks! :)

Hi emerylloyd, Thank you for the suggestion. Now u mentioned it there is some water coming out from the pipe off a brass-covered plastic tube. So does it mean this shower is damaged by scales? This shower has been around for many years it seems so the poasibility for it to have scales is very...

Hi Emerylloyd, No there is no "low pressure" sign on the display but the water is still cold? Ive tried to open and colse from the water input to the shower unit. When i close it, it shows low pressure and obviously no water comes out and when i open it, no low pressure sign on the display but...

Hi emerylloyd, I havent checked the water pressure using such device however since the first time i move in here i didnt notice any change in water pressure on other taps when the shower is in "low pressure condition". Any suggestion ?

Hi, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the problem persists. Its been more than ayear and still the same problem. Is that normal? Anyway, the shower is no practically only produce only cold water at any time so i assume it is broken now. So u think if i replace it with a new electric shower...

Hi, I have triton t200re and from time to time like 9am or 10pm, the shower is often low pressure. Is there any suggestion on why this is happening ? Last night the shower is finally broken (only cold water comes out eventhough the low pressure light was off) and im looking at the...

Hi d_hailsham and bazdaman, Thanks for the suggestions. Will try it sometime next week and will report back here.

Hi JohnD, After spending 4 hours trying to balance the system using the step-by-step, the previously cold radiator upstairs now hot however the one of the previously hot radiator upstairs becomes cold. So can I safely say the pump is broken ?

Hi JohnD, I didnt expect a reply at 12am so I really appreciate your reply. I followed the pipes and found both sides of the pressure valve and motorised valve for the central heating are all hot. From the motorised valve, the pipes go up and i can see those branches out. I checked all the...

Hi JohnD, Thank you for the suggestions. I did what you asked and I found the spindle spins well when the pump was off. I also tried to check the spindle when the pump was on and the spindle still spins well. Any other method to check the pump ? Yes the radiators downstairs still cold and...

Hi JohnD, Thanks for the reply. 1. is the pump running? I suppose so because it makes a bit vibration and also since two radiators upstairs are hot and the hot water also works fine i assume the pump is working ? 2. are the pipes on each side of it hot? yes the pipes are hot 3. how far...

Hi JohnD, I tried to balance the system after I bled the cold radiators (I bled starting from the furthest one upstairs). Now I closed both valves on each radiator except the cold radiator upstairs.

Hi 45yearsagasman, This is actually the continuation of this problem: //www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/potterton-e2000-cant-turn-off-the-central-heating.364284/#2761878 The picture of the red thing (pressure valve)? I tried to bleed the cold radiator upstairs yesterday again but...

Hi, I managed to fit the new motorised valve for the central heating. After I fit it in, I tested by turning on the central heating and hot water at the same time (BAD IDEA !!!). The pressure valve (the red thing?) made lots of noise and the water and the radiator didnt become hot. So I bled...

Hi D_Hailsham, Thank you for the suggestion. I have managed to remove the side of the cupboard and yes both valves are the same. I tried to turn on the water heater from the programmer and I can hear the mechanical movement on one of the valves (the brass-colored one on the right). The same...
