Got a Gaingsborough 1000 (pre 2004 model) and all of a sudden just had scalding hot water from the shower head... Would this be the thermo cut out switch which has broken, can this been replaced or new shower fitted?
No reduction in flow of water what so ever (as I am told) friend was having a shower and she just said 'all of a sudden, hot scalding water started flowing through' she put the dial on cold but still hot scalding water... Any other reason why this would happen?
electric showers work on the princable that the slower the water gos through the heat tank the hotter it is.
restricting the water will make it hotter.
showerheads when they start to limescale up restrict the flow so causing the water to go through the tank slower.
if no improvement with shower head/hose check the filter which is located in the mains water feed pipe where it enters the shower.
Have just been informed she had replaced the hose and head which now opens up another set of questions...
Being electric shower, should they have a certain type of hose and head, i.e.. A minimum diameter hose leading to the head etc. She's bought a £20 hose and head, would this be a simple basic one from the local DIY store as I know cheap and cheerful ones are no good, or half decent one.
The original one 'wasn't working correctly' and has been thrown away, will it be good to invest in a Gainsborough head and hose
