Pictures attached. The one with the problem is the chrome wall mounted one. The inset Mira one works perfectly.

They are 2 completely different showers unfortunately. I will take photos of both anyway though. There are no inline filters or valves. Back ASAP with pics...

I'll have to get up into the loft to double check but as far as I recall the hot is pumped (the pump is situation next to the hot water cylinder) but the cold is supplied by a tank in the loft (mains goes to the tank and gravity brings it from the tank to the two showers).

Yep, as I stand looking at the shower the left hand pipe is the hot and the right is cold. Does that mean I shouldn't swap the pipes over and that something else is causing the temperature fluctuation?

Anyone know the answer to this?

The hot pipe is the one on the left. Does that mean that reversed pipes is not the issue? If they still need to be swapped there are 2 places I could do it, one being a plastic to plastic join, and the other being plastic to metal. I've attached pictures of both for clarification. Which would...

Good point! I presume it would be broken down on our bill?

It's accurate enough then!

That's great, thank you!

Hi John, What are you using to monitor usage? Cheers, Mark.

Are you gathering this information manually, or is there a quicker method?

:D

That sounds like by far the most sensible option!

No there are no storage heaters. The house is from the 1970s so maybe there were at one time or another.

OK thanks. I'll make sure I start early then to give me time to go to the shops if it fails! Many thanks for taking the time to answer this for me - the shower was driving me nuts and had my wife complaining daily, so it's very much appreciated,

Alright, thank you for the quick response! I'll swap them over at the weekend. There is flexible plastic 'JG Speedfit' style pipework in the loft joined to the chrome pipes that appear through the ceiling in the bathroom and go to the shower. Hopefully I should be able to disconnect and...

Oh. The digital meter is dual rate so I assumed it would have an internal clock like at my old house. Looking closer at the old ticking box it has a rotating 'face' divided up into 'day' and 'night' sections. It's currently saying it's 1am! This raises a couple of other questions now! Typical...

There you go.

Thanks for replying. It's definitely not a gas meter. I'll take a photo and upload it in a moment.

I've just moved into a new house and the meter cupboard is a real mess. There is a new(ish) digital meter and fusebox, but also an old mechanical meter that ticks like mad, is some distance away from the new meter and doesn't appear to do anything. It is powered by (what I presume are) a live...
