I have a Triton Rapide 3 electric shower that was installed several years ago (by previous occupants). The water pressure from the shower head is really powerful when the shower temperature is set to the coldest setting but very poor when set to a hot (comfortable showering) temperature.
From my little bit of research I see that the heater in this unit works at a constant level and that it adjusts the flow of water through the heater to achieve the desired temperature; the slower it flows, the hotter it gets. So I understand that the water flow is going to be reduced when hot but it seems to be drastically reduced in my case.
Is there any likelihood this shower unit has a fault with its flow control / heating element? Or should I live with it / get a more powerful unit? I think this one is 8.5 or 9.5KW but not 100% sure.
