    Thermostatic Shower Cuts Out

    The old shower I think was a plain mixer, it was certainly 12 or so years old and I believe thermostatic is relatively new? Could it make sense to try replacing the thermostatic with a manual mixer then? I suppose it is not guaranteed to fix the issue? I shall have to check if we have the...

    Thermostatic Shower Cuts Out

    Really lifting the cw is cheaper? I guess it needs raising to have 1m plus of head? Would all the pipe work not need changing (or I suppose just extending up to reach the raised cw tank? ) One person mentioned using a combi boiler to increase pressure, is this 100% correct (clearly this...

    Thermostatic Shower Cuts Out

    Soiof the main issue is the height, I presume this means looking towards a pumped installation? It should be pretty impossible to raise the head I assume. Given the pipe work what is the best place to be putting a pump? In the loft, under the bath, in the airing cupboard? There is limited...

The shower is installed above a bath so there are taps fed from the same pipes, could these have isolation valves inline which need...

    Thermostatic Shower Cuts Out

    Starting it with the head on the floor or below the valve normally gets it started more quickly or in a normal amount of time (if I recall it is still not starting immediately like this 100% of the time) Also it still will cut out when changing temp when starting it like this. If this is...

    Thermostatic Shower Cuts Out

    Hi, We have a fairly low pressure gravity fed system (~1m head) and recently had a new thermostatic valve fitted. Since then the shower is acting quite strangely, Sometimes takes 1+ minute for water to start flowing Sometimes cuts out when changing temperature Prior to having the new...
