Electric shower temperature control problem

[glasgow1]

Hello, new to the board and i have a problem that i hope you can help me solve!

I'll admit i do not have much experience with 'shower workings', however i have just moved into a new flat and the shower in question is a Triton TX7000. The problem is that when it is set a 1, (the coldest setting), the water is roasting hot, and when i move it up to the hotter temperature settings it starts to come out in pulses, and the water is even hotter! Would appreciate any help you could offer, and save me money on a plumber..

Thanks in advance.

just a thought, try it with the shower head removed, electic showers rely on back pressure, it may be your shower head needs a jolly good clean, .............but then it may not

thanks for reply breezer - i'll give it a clean and let you know..

well, as i said, do try it with no head, also a diifernt head, some shower heads are NOT suitable for electric showers
