Hi Hope someone can help this old guy with some advice please. I was using our shower this morning when there was a small pop sound and water began to flow from the casing as well as the shower head.
I took the casing off and when switching on the shower the water flowed back from the flexible hose and out of the joint.
I thought of blockage first of all and disconnected the shower head and the water flowed through the flexible line OK with no back flow. I re-fitted the shower head and it re-created the problem.
I have bought a new shower head and on fitting it re-created the problem. So now I have new flexible hose and a new shower head but still get back pressure creating water to come out of the top of the flexible hose.
I have just run water through the flexible hose without the new shower head for a few minutes to see if there was a small blockage in the new hose, water flowed freely/ As soon as I put the shower head on, the water flowed from the head and from the unit side of the flexible hose. There were no kinks in the hose.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
regards
